2006 bmw e90 wheel Question

The other day I ordered some wheels which were
19×9.5 + 40mm square.
The tires I have mounted on them are 235/35/r19.
I was told by some guys that I’m gonna have rubbing and other issues up front on the car, it’s on stock suspension at the moment.
My question is does anyone have any knowledge on this type of Fitment. Is it gonna work or am I going to have problems?.

I think you'll run into problems regarding the wheel coming into contact with the strut. You'll probably need some wheel spacers upfront.

What size spacers you think would be best?

You'll need at least 8mm spacers for the front bringing your offset to et32 otherwise your wheel will contact the strut.

Ok thank you, I was looking into it lastnight and I was thinking of getting 15mm spacers for the front and the back bringing it the offset to 25mm hopefully I won't have any problems with that.

Ehh that's a bit excessive tbh, et32 on the front will be flush. Trust me I'm running the same as you 19x9.5 et32 fronts.
If you really want to push it out a bit go with 10mm spacer on the front.
Rears you can go 15mm for sure

I just ordered up 2 pairs of 10mm earlier tonight from BMS. I was looking for the 8mm you suggested but they didn't have that size listed, I didn't see that option elsewhere besides eBay either so I stuck with BMS, and I was told that they are well respected manufacturer. So I just got 10mm for the front and the back. It's on Stock Height right now so hopefully I won't have a problem.

I have BMS spacers as well and they are excellent.
You are right, 8mm spacers are not readily available but can be found.
10mm for the font will be fine

You said you are planning to run 235/35 all around, did you already purchase these tires?
Just asking because I originally had the same size tire on a 9.5" wheel and I found it to be a bit stretched. Although different tire brands are wider then others
I ended up replacing them with 245/35.
