359M's on an E90 M sport
Hi all,
Recently I cracked my 193M rim up front. Between being difficult to find a replacement and literally being dead in the water with no spare, I caved and bought a set of some 359's. These came with some brand new tires at a 245/35/19 in the front and 275/35/19 in the rear. Since I just needed to get to and from school and work, I mounted up the front passenger side wheel so I could at least commute. I notes some rubbing going over speed bumps but I wasn't too surprised. The tire/rim is essentially flush with the fender so I will get them rolled ASAP. As for the rear, using willtheyfit.com, I read that my rear tires would not be pushed out by 30mm. That seems INSANELY aggressive for the non-M fenders. Given that I love how meaty the tires look, I am sure that for these to work I will need a less-wide tire in order to stretch it a little bit. I've added a picture of how the front fits my car as well as the actual set... judging by the sidewall you can see why I REALLY want to make these work haha Has anybody had experience with 359m's on the e90 chassis with the M sport suspension? I have done some reading but wanted to see if there was anything recent. God I hate potholes...

This is why I decided to run the 359 Fronts on both front and rear. 10" wide rears isn't going to work, even with a fender roll. Just looking at your picture shows that pretty clearly, but there are a ton of threads/posts on this. The M fenders those were designed for are quite a bit wider than even a rolled rear.
I'm running the 359 fronts without spacers and on coilovers (which should be roughly sport suspension height) and they're flush with no rubbing. https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-2...59-19x9-front/ |

I see, that’s smart. I bet that is an awesome looking setup.I may see about adjusting my camber for a slight negative amount and get an alignment/rolled fenders which I think may make these work. Love the way the fill in the wheel well

You're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, the offsets are too aggressive and the front fender cannot be rolled because it's made of plastic.

Stop wasting your time. Those rear wheels won't fit. There are plenty of people online who've tried. You're not cutting new paths here. Do some searches, and either grab some fronts for the rear, or move on. Just for posterity, I believe the fronts fit up front - at least, they do on the e92. No fender rolling or spacer required (at least, with my drop there isn't). |

I fit my OEM 359M wheels on my old m sport e93. Stock suspension and alignment specs. I went with a 235/35r19 tire in the front and a 265/30r19 tire in the rear. I needed to shave the quarters to get as much clearance as possible for them to fit, but then they did without any rubbing at all.
Part of your problem is you're also using very aggressive tires. The CRS, like all 200tw tires will run wider than a street tire.
