What's going on everyone, okay so I've searched, read, searched, read and etc on this subject. Is it getting old? Sure for most of you but for myself it isn't since I'm still not finding "that" answer.

Currently owning an E90 335i on sprt suspension, I would like to put 19x9.5 et23-25 SDC's on the fronts. Majority of us know that it looks complete with having the SDC's all around instead of semi/deep or whatever the other options are.

So my question is, stretching the tires enough for clearance in the fronts on a 235/35 tire to do 19x9.5 et23-25 SDC's in the front? I don't wanna trim or roll the fenders if I don't have too.

Thanks for helping me out and others!

Go with et22-23 at front, those are tested and clears brakes. You will need camber at front to fit it. I have 18x9.5 et22 with 225/40/18 and -1 degrees no other modifications, but 235/35 might need fender roll or more camber. You will find out after you put the wheels on the car. There is too many variables to say for sure. These kinda setups are basically the ones you have test fit and then do the modifications what it needs. I would recommend getting coilovers also.

What's you plan for rear size? Because your car is LCI, i recommend 19x11 et33-35 with 265/30/19. That will need fender roll/maybe some other modifications and camber, but it would match the front nicely. This is Pre-lci but it would look the same way on your car with specs above. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=713886

Okay cool thanks the rear I figured 19x10 honestly on a 265/30 tire. It's not that I don't mind fender rolling but there's no one in my area that does. Including 50miles away or so which limits me

[e90'D10]

Oh and yes I'm looking at the KW v2s right now and the STs just contemplating on which one I should get

265/30/19 will stretch more on an 11" wheel than a 10" wheel. 11" et40 is the same outer fitment as 10"et28.

Yeah, but in my opinion it looks little weird, if front is more aggressive than rear.

Recommendation you would suggest is 19x11?

So I've sat quietly and kept myself from making ANOTHER wheel fitment thread because I know how to do the math and I'm not afraid of making it work... That said your post here is realavent enough for me to ask.

I want to run 9.5+22 sqaure. Here is the kicker: meaty, performance oriented 265/35 all around as well. I know the wheel will fit but in your experience with your car, is there enough clearance at the strut for a meaty tire? I am not as worried about fender. I have M3 front CAs and I'm fine with 3+ front camber and/or rolling/trimming/slight pull. that much camber makes turn-in the shit! Anyways will I need small diameter coilovers I take it?

That much meat makes it hard to toss another 5mm spacer on for strut clearance cause then fender work gets sketchier and sketchier for the paint

Thanks man!

Or 10 wide with lower offset (don't know what you had in your mind), since the front pokes out a little bit, in my opinion rear should match that and if you use something like 10 et36, the rear wont match the front very well. You could get 19x10 et28ish with 265/30/19 off course it will require fender roll and some camber. This is e90 pre-lci with 19x10 et20 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=976917 (same as et28 at LCI would be). If you go lower offset with 10 wide you will have to get narrower tyre.

Here is E92 with 19x9.5 et22 front and 19x10 et22 rear http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...90&postcount=1

Now let's say you go with 11 wide, with 265/30/19, if you choose et41 it will extend exactly to same place as 19x10 et28 and would fit easier than the 10 wide. This pre-lci has 19x11 et33 which is the same as et41 at Lci http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ght=19x11+et33

I would recommend getting something like et35-40 with 11 wide and 265/30/19.

Most pre-lci e90 guys here go with 9.5 et20ish and 19x11 et25ish and it would look like this. At LCI et33 would extend to same place.

But these sizes require work to fit them.

Yeah, you have enough clearance. My Bc racing br have about 10mm gap to the edge of the wheel. But as you know camber is needed. This one is e90 with 18x9.5 et30 with 265/35/18 tyre front http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...6&postcount=38

E92 with 18x9.5 et25 and 265/35/18 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=201

Also i would add camber to rear also and push it more out to match the front.

The front shouldn't be more aggressive than the rear since he has an lci. Camber plates would be needed up front though.

Well that depends what offset he had planned for 10 wide, if it is something that wont require fender roll, then front would be more aggressive at least my opinion. Doesn't really matter if it is lci, since both have their limit what will work without fender roll and what doesn't. It's just different offset.

To get sdc in the rear it has to be at least 10et28 which is pretty much the same as 9.5et22 or 11et40. With extra camber up front to match the rear I don't think the front would be more aggressive. It would be similar to that e92 with 9.5et20 10et22.

True i forgot the SDC's had limit of the highest offset for 10 wide. Well at least the stretch would be different between front and rear, maybe the 11 wide is more concave.

I think sdc are all the same regardless of width or offset. Without rolling fenders I think the best bet is 11et40 with a 265/30/19 because of the stretch, but there is still a chance of rubbing.

[e90'D10]

Okay so finally decided to do the following set-up

19x9.5 ET18 225/35
19x11 ET25 265/30

So more than likely I'll just do a fender roll or trim

You can also do

19x10 et20-22 235/35/19
19x11 et25 265/30/19

But I'm sure 19x10 et20-22 235/35 will require front fender rolling/trimming right?

Somehow i think you bought member 335iG wheels. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...1#post16391851

Will fit with fender modifications and camber.

There isn't really much of a lip up front but you can roll or trim it if you need to. You'll need camber plates either way.

Camber plates even at stock height until I lower it or is it best to get them regardless since I plan to drop the vehicle?

I think you are fine without camber plates with stock suspension, but when you lower it then you need them. Just a little tip, if you buy BC racing BR coils they come with camber plates to front. By the way here is how the wheels will look at your car.
