Facelifted E90 offsets
I understand that the tracking on the facelifted E90 is wider than the original cars. Does anyone know how much wider the front and rear track is and what offset wheels should be used (I think the 33 and 35 offset is the most popular for the original E90).

The LCI e90/91 has 8mm wider track on each side, and no change in the front.

No, it's still ET34 on the OEM 17x8 and 18x8 wheels.

remmib is right about the wheel offsets being the same, but I'd still like to know where the 3mm change has been made on the front of my 325i LCI.

It hasn't, my bad, I just found out that the LCI models that comes with 16" as standard wheels is ET31, not ET34. So there's the 3mm difference.

Hi Remmib, Thanks for following up. I also read somewhere about ET31 standard 16" wheels (outside US) for LCI, so I assumed this was the cause for the change in listed specs.
I understand the LCI 8mm widened rear track is due to the updated rear hub carriers. |

From reading the forums I'd say ET35 to ET42 is generallly safe range 9.5" rears on the E90 LCI facelift sedans.
ET28 to ET35 was more suited to Pre-Facelift E90 sedan. (Thats is 7-8mm more agressive offset). There are probably some wide fitting 265mm tires that may have rubbing at ET35 on the E90 LCI, so the tyre brand is always a variable. For the front, ET32-ET35 is safe on both Pre-LCI and LCI. I have ET32 on the front of my LCI and I think it is perfect. Last edited by John_01; 06-01-2010 at 07:14 PM.. |

Sorry i didn't mean to thread jack but thanks. i had ordered ft/rear et 35/43 offsets for 19" wheels on my lci e90 i just wanted to make sure this fitment would 100% work with 235/265 tires bf goodrich kdws. but it seems like im in the safe zone as i had troubles with the rims i have on now for some reason the passenger side rear tires was rubbing on the inside.

Sorry to bump an old thread but what offset would the wheel guys recommend for an LCI sedan that wants to run a 275/30/19 tire in the rear?
My car has stock suspension and Im undecided if I will lower it. So I guess something that will be safe if lowered maybe an inch or so, and yes I would roll the fenders if needed. I just want a nice flush look, I hate the sunken in look that most stock wheels give. |

I'm going to try a 275/30 on my car with a 19x9.5 wheel, 42 offset. Was thinking of a 10mm spacer though... I don't want to fender roll or do camber adjustment.

Well I have seen pics of ET45 on the rear with 275 michelin pilot sport a/s which are a very wide tire and it still seemed a tad inset. It wasn't bad but I just didn't know how far we could go before modifications were needed. I will probably be going with a Nitto Invo tire for reference.
