There aren't that many to choose. Apex arc8 17x9 et30 square setup http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...apex+arc8+17x9

Or Varsstoen es2 or es3, those would have to be re-drilled by them.

why did you decide to add 5mm spacer? You have LCI E90? How's fitment and/or rubbing? What's your offsets?

I had to get 5mm for the front cause it would hit the strut but I juwt got them all around so tgey would be even , I like the look of an even offset plus I could rotate my tires and it looks much beefier,
17x9.5 5mm spacers 30 offset im running 255/40 hankook v12 all around by next month I will try 275/40/17 in the rear , plus with the apex there lighter and tire cost is cheap its bmws RPF1 I think there the best bang for your buck on performance wheels I wouldnt go 19s or 20s

Nice, I've got 17x9 et30 Arc 8's with 245/40/17 square waiting to go on my car. I was worried that the rears would rub with that setup, but sounds like you have an E90 LCI and no rubbing in the rear?

Was the front tire hitting the strut or the spring? If spring, what springs do you have on the front and how much camber are running on the street with this setup? Are you on stock suspension or lowered?

I thought 17 would be a cheaper way to go because I already the tires but the wheels are expense. it looks like I could buy used 18/19 with tires cheaper than I can pick up 17 wheels
