18x9et31 Front
18x10et25 Rear
The 18x9" ET31 is a great wheel for the front of your car and I would recommend using it with a 245/35/18 or 235/40/18 tire.

In the rear an 18x10" ET25 is too aggressive to fit onto an LCI E90. You would have to stretch an extremely undersized 245/35/18 tire and even than rubbing may be possible. If you wanted to stay with a 10" wide rear wheel than I would really recommend our 18x10" ET43 with 265/35/18 or 275/35/18 tire. The rear tire size is very dependent upon what kind of tire you plan on using. An extreme performance tire like the Dunlop Star Spec or Hankook RS3 that run much larger would have to be used in the 265/35/18 size. A street tire like the Hankook V12 or Michelin Pilot Super Sport could be used in the 275/35/18 size because they do not run as large.
