Yet another fitment and other questions

Hi Everyone,

I have 2008 328xi E92 with Eibach springs and Bilstein struts.
Not going to track the car at all.

Planing to buy

Linea Corsa 818 wheels and tires with it too.

- 19"x9.0" ET35mm Front 235/35/19
- 19"x10.0" ET38mm Rear 265/30/19

1-Will these settings fit my car with NO rubbing?
2-What are your opinions on this wheel?
3-Any suggestion on wheels around the same price if you think its a bad choice?

And for the tires:
1- Should I just buy summer tires and switch them in winter?
2-What brand do you guys prefer for this wheel?

Thank you everyone in advance.

1. You shouldn't rub unless your cars filled
2. common brand
3. My personal preference is 17" light weight wheels to decrease unsprung weight, cheaper tires, more comfortable, better performance, so I went with 17" apex arc 8

Tires
1. I'm in San Diego but to my knowledge a lot of people swap to square 17s or 18s with winter tires
2. michelin pss if you have money, hankooks if on a budget

Thank you Deluxe,

I'm definitely going with the 19's. I hate the 4X4 look on the car. Hoping that extra 1 inch will close some of the gap.

From what i've seen tho, the PSS and the hankooks are almost the same price,so I'll go with Michelin's in that case.

Thank you for your input.
