E90: 18x9.5 on 235/40 18x11 275/35?

Can I run this set up on an 08 E90? If not what do I have to do to fit this or am I just SOL? I'm going to be installing the FK silverline coil when I put the wheels on.

I think you'll rub without fender modification.

Depending of the front offset you might need spacer to clear your coilovers. Rear needs at least fender roll, maybe something else like camber adjustments etc.

largely depends on offsets, but im with Monaco, you need a fender roll and camber in most likely.

Here is the technical explanation http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/...jsp?techid=101 Basically it means that lower offset will extend more out than higher offset, but wheel width affects to that also.

Easiest way to understand what happens with different offset is to use that calculator top of this page. Just put there the two wheel size you want to compare.

what offset depends how aggressive you want and how much are you willing to do fender modifications.

If you want to use 9.5/11, 235/275 setup i think offset around 30 should work. Not too many setups with those tyre sizes. Most "common" setup is 18x9.5 et20-25 with 225/40/18 front and 18x11 et25 with 265/35/18 rear.

18's are easier to make fit in wider sizes than 19's for sure.
