I hardly think ET45 with a 275 will look tucked in and is too conservative?

It will.

we've put 19x9.5 +35 on a non-LCI and its pretty tucked.

a 19x9.5 +45 will be 2mm in further on an LCI than a 19x9.5 +35 on a non-LCI.

It's the equivalent of running a 19x9.5 +38 on a Non-LCI

With what tire?

My ET33 V710s rub so bad I cant even back out of my driveway with my michelin 275/30/19s without seriously BAD rubbing.. An ET 35 would do the same thing. 2mm is NOT enough... suspension travel makes the car neigh undriveable with my 275's and ET33 rears.

Then you have to figure on people / junk in the car for a trip... If I have to run a few MM of spacer, so be it, but I seriously doubt that with my 275 Michelins I will have an issue..

I will certainly post pics when I get them on though... Probably be a couple weeks.

^^^ you're running your tires wide. if you really don't want to put 265s i suggest getting tires with a rounded sidewall and running a et38

Generally people put 265's on 9.5's

with 265's and a ET35, you shouldn't rub.

which would be fine, probably for my ET33's too..

Except that you cannot even find a UHP all season tire in a 265/30/19...

I need all seasons.

Is the front track on the LCI the same as the pre LCI?

Why did BMW increase the track on the LCI?

Just run an ET33 19 x 9.5 265/30/19 (I have Falken 452s).
I love the V710s on my LCI. Dropped on HR Sport springs with no fender roll.
