Looking for the right wheel fitment (08 e90 with sports package)

M4c93 · 06-24-2023, 01:26 PM

What is up guys. So I'm looking for the best wheel fitment for my e90. I want something aggressive but I also don't want any tire rub or rolling my fenders. I also plan on putting coil overs on as well which leads to my next question. Should I go with coilovers first or wheels? Thank you!

Suspension first.

A common somewhat aggressive setup that clears without any major mods would be:

Front: 18x9 et30
Rear: 18x9.5 et34

That's what I'm running and many others are too. Or you could do a square setup of just the front size from above.

coilovers first

e90 pre lci has a lot of room in the rear wheel well. You can easily run 18x10 et40 with 275/35 and front is good per the response above.

suspension first, even your current wheels look much better when lowered
