You will need to roll your fenders and camber

You have 9.5 et20 all around? They will work up front with a 225/35/19 even if your lowered, I wouldn't go wider than that though.

you can not roll the front fenders of an e92. And unless you have coils with camber adjustment you won't get that much camber. I would def say run the 225 tires and you SHOULD be good.

I have 235/35 tyres up front. im from jamaica and some roads are bad so 225s may b exposing the rims a bit more than I can manage.

235/35/19 Front

As for rear you could do the same as front 235/35/19 with this tyre i would probably try spacers to rear to push it more out. Or 255/30/19 or 265/30/19. The 265/30/19 would match the 235/35/19 diameter better. Also if your rear fenders aren't rolled you could do that. Front fenders can't be rolled those are plastic.

Funny thing is, that it is his own thread.

I have 18x9.5 et22 and 225/40/18 around -1 degree camber. Lowered on coils. Haven't had any problems. If you drill out the alignment pin you can get camber to about -1.5. Or buy coils that have camber plates, like Bc racing Br.

Few pictures.
