I ran those tire specs for a while. I'm now running 275/30 in the back, just for peace of mind on the xdrive transfer case and I'm a preLCI e90, so I can fit it. You should be fine running those sizes. But, your title of your thread indicates you have a question about offsets (how far the wheels stick out from your hubs). this is usually denoted by et and then a number. for example, my wheels are et33 rear and et35 front (if I'm remembering correctly). anyway, your car is an LCI model, which means you won't want to run anything much more aggressive in the rear. I could actually run spacers on mine, because I'm preLCI. but also be sure to check your wheel offsets before you purchase new wheels, otherwise you could end up rubbing or having your wheels look goofy sitting too far inside your fenders. Just know that anything in the 30s, you're probably ok with, and the lower the number means the more aggressive the fit. If you get down into the 20s, you'll probably be looking at rolling your fenders, running a stretched tire, or having to play with your suspension setup.

If you're working with pretty much any vendor on here, they'll likely have sold enough wheels to set you up with the right offsets. I hope that helps.

yeah, i'd definitely check on the offsets. I can't recall what the e46 M3s run from stock, but they might be a little aggressive for your e92.
