Just wondering if these specs would fit my pre-lci e90

fronts:
18x9.5 +34

rears:
18x10.5 +34

Looking to run Neova AD08's or something similar , nothing stretched, prefer a functional setup

Thinking of 245/40/18 for the fronts and 275/35/18 for the rears but ive got a feeling that i'd be scrubbing on this set up

You'll probably have problems with suspension clearance with that front offset. Spacers will be needed.

245/275 is too wide, and I'm not sure how wide Advan Neovas run.

Ah damn, would I need to go down a tire size? From memory, the sidewall of the Neova are slightly wider than most tires. For reference, I was thinking of running these rims:

18x9.5 et34 will fit to front if you have stock shocks and lowering springs it will leave about 2-3mm gap, but with coilovers you need spacers, since those are thicker. Also you need 235/40/18 tyre. It really isn't that stretched on 9.5 wide wheel. Last summer i had 18x9.5 et35 with 235/40 at front

I now have 18x9.5 et30 at front with 235/40/18 Here is how it looks

You can't have 10.5 et34, because they only offer offsets 0, 15, 22, and 30 for 18x10.5 wheel. Atleast in this link.

What i would recommend is to get
18x9.5 et30 to front with 235/40/18
18x10.5 et22 to rear with 265/35/18 and rolled fenders.

Example of 265/35 on 10.5

Other solution would be 10.5 et30 with 275/35 but then it would look little bit funny, because front tyre would be more stretched and the front wheel pokes out more than rear.

In fact i have ordered those exact wheels with polished finish to my pre-lci e90. But i went with 18x9.5 et22 front with 225/40/18 and 18x10.5 et15 rear with 255/35/18. I will be doing fender roll and camber adjustments too.

I wouldn't recommend those wheel and tire specs. People have fit similar fitments up front, but use narrower tires. Also, the rear is likely going to need a fender roll. Lastly, the AD08 runs VERY wide, so if you're going up in size it's going to fit even bigger than most other brands/models.

Ah man, what about 18x9.5 +22 all around?

planning to use 235/40 on the fronts and 265/35 on the rears? Thinking I might need a spacer on the rear but Im a tad concerned about the fronts, don't mind doing fender adjustments but as long as it isnt too extreme

otherwise I'll go with a safer fitment and stick 8.5 +35 on the fronts but then i wont get that concave at the front

You will need spacers in the rear or it will look weird. And if you're running square wheels, run a square tire setup.

out of curiosity, can i ask why? sorry, first time hearing that

Probably because aesthetic reasons. If you have 9.5 with 235/40 and 9.5 with 265/35. The front and rear tyre look different. Front is little bit stretched and rear isn't.

I would recommend 225/40/18 with 18x9.5 et22. That's what i was told and looked around web that's what most have. Also i was told to roll the fenders at front just to be safe.
