Looks nice and flush but just clears with no rubbing. Any more aggressive and you'd need to dial in more camber to make sure you don't damage the plastic quarters on our cars.

I'm running 19x9.5 et -33 (effectively et -21) with a 12m spacer in the rear with 265's and it rubs a bit still even with a healthy roll. I think that's about as aggressive as you can get on these cars before you start dialing in camber or running stretch/poke to clear.

i'm gonna go for it with my 245's. i'll knock out my alignment pin to get a tiny bit more camber.

my 245 vredestein sidewalls seem about the same as the hankooks from just eyeballing it, so maybe i'll get lucky.

VMR V710 Hypersilver

19x9.5 et 33 rear (shown with 10mm H&R spacers)
235 35 19 Hankook V12 front
265 30 19 Hankook V12 rear

My girl and I were talking about VW's the other day (she used to have a GTI), and she says "If you ain't rubbin', you aint dubbin' " and I was like where did you here that? she says "idk I just made it up"

Your car looks amazing as usual by the way!

I'm looking at some VMR wheels myself, and was gonna go with the same tires and wheel sizes you went with. I've got an 06 e90. You think the 9.5 22mm offset would work in the rear with no rubbing? You got 33 plus the 10 spacers which is essentially a 23 if I'm understanding this correctly. So Would the 22 1mm more pushed OUT or sucked IN?

19x9.5 275 +23 works on my e92.

you'll definitely have to roll the fenders though. i'm also running -2.5* camber in the rear

Shaved front fenders?

The following is on order:
Hypersilver Advan RS (ETA ~ 4/7/12)
FRONT
19x8.5 et 38 (with 15mm H&R Spacer) = et 23
235 35 19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports
REAR
19x10 et 25 (no spacer)
275 30 19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports

The pics I showed earlier have no camber adjustments from stock. The car is lowered on KW V1s, but is near the top of its adjustability since I have my family of 4 ride in it.

Nothing really to shave since the fenders are plastic.

Just OEM fenders, it does rub against the plastic fender lining under full lock, but its nothing major and after rubbing a few times, it wore the plastic down now so it doesn't rub anymore.

It would be 1 more mm OUT. Since your 330i's a Pre-LCI, which has more clearance than an LCI, and it's E90, which has more clearance than an E92, you should be fine.
I never rub in the rear ( ), but seriously my fenders were rolled at LTBMW and I haven't had any issues. Sometimes I'll rub up front if I'm going over 50mph and hit a rolling bump, but even then my wife just smiles and says, "I know you like it!"

I was gonna say... if that's not a t-shirt or something already it probably should be

[BQTuning]

BMW M Style 313 rims 19x9 rear/19x8 frony, rear 39 offset, front 37 offset

Current 275/30/19 rear and 235/35/19 front absolutely NO RUBBING, not even close

The rear still has more clearance for a 285/30/19 not sure about the front

[AcE90]

1st set of wheels were

20x10 et 25
285 30 20

20x8.5 et 20
235 30 20

Rubbed a bit in the rear and sometimes in the front on big bumps or fat chicks in the car

I'm running -1.1 degrees of camber up front and 255/35/18 Hankook RS3's, lowered on AST 5200's with a Apex 9" ET 42 with a 10mm spacer so effective ET32 offset. Absolutely no rubbing on potholes, hard braking on the track, or in parking garage.

Maybe a couple of mm between the strut and the tire/wheel. Tons of room between the tire and the fender.

I rub slightly when at full lock and cornering hard (like pulling a fast u-turn). Only happened once, so far.

hey guys, i want to run


Tires
Front: 265/30/19
Rear: 265/30/19

Rims
Front: 19x9.5/ET-33
Rear: 19x9.5/ET-33


i just thought of something interesting. on the Dinan setup Doyle posted earlier it said if you run camber plates you can go 265/30/19. knowing Dinan i'm sure they are referring to their own camber plates. their camber plates only allow a max of -0.7mm camber. do you think that is enough to run the setup?

Same tires here, not sure about the same offsets for my 360's.

but 285 rear rubs when cars full of people, but only after I got lowered on H&R sports

hopefully i can book an appointment to get them on this weekend

[Park2670]

Wow, 295s in the back? That will be a lot of work no?

[akuliest]

sorry new to the wheel discussion. How wide can i go on a pre-LCI without having to adjust suspension or deal with rolling my fenders? I am looking at 19inch wheels i beleive the back is 265, i want to do spacers too...
