Question for the fitment experts . . . - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

NOLA335i · 08-14-2009, 07:33 PM

I'm considering a set of OZ wheels with tires and wondering about the fit on my e90 335i with sports package.
OZ Alleggerita HLT (anthracite):
Front 18x8.5, 35mm offset, 6.14 backspace
Rear 18x9.5, 35mm offset, 6.7 backspace
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric:
Front 225/40/18
Rear 255/35/18
This is the recommended size from the Tirerack website. Just want to make sure I will have no issues with rubbing and that they will not be too tucked in. Any thoughts or suggestions on different sizes? I'm not really interested in 19" wheels though. Thanks!

Yes, those will fit with no rubbing.
I have ET35 front and ET32 rear on 19x8.5 and 19x9.5, but on 235 and 265 tires.

Because your car is an 2009 LCI, 35 offset in the rear will put the tyre close to the fender. Stock offset is 37, but the stock wheel is an 8.5" rather than 9.5". I wonder if the recommendation is indended for the Pre-LCI model. If you want to use wider tyre such as 265 on the rear it is probably best to have an offset of around 40.

Good information! I looked high and low for the specs of my 18" sport wheels (style 287), but could find no information on offset. Do you know the offset of the front wheels? How about weight for the front and rear stock wheels?

Standard front offset is 34 for either 17x8 or 18x8 wheel. Glad to be a help!

So, with the OZ Alleggerita HLT with a front 18x8.5, 35mm offset, and rear 18x9.5, 35mm offset, one can run 235/40-18 front and 265/35-18 rear without rubbing or clearance issues?
