Front is 17 x 8 et 34 and rear is 17 x 8.5 et 37. My goal is to get a little more meat on the tires and it seems like my car has enough fender clearance.
If I decide to lower the car with kw1 the minimum lowering for front is 0.6 inches. I really do not want to run any camber plates. Thanks!

There definitely is a difference between the e92 and e90 LCI models, as the sedans have an 8mm wider rear suspension tract, leading to the fenders having 8mm less clearance for wheels and tires. Because of this, the rears of the LCI models require a higher offset wheel, or to modify the fenders in order to fit the same fitment on the pre-LCI or coupe models. The 17x9.0" ET30 can fit on the rear of an e92 and e90 pre-LCI with a 255/40/17 street tire without any modification, while that is not the case for the e90 LCI.
