I have an E90 msport pre lci on standard msport suspension.

What work, if any will be required to fit these wheels/tyres?

Fronts: 18/40/225 8.5j et15
Rears: 18/35/255 10j et17

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Since you are on M-sport suspension, probably nothing. Rear might need fender roll, especially if you lower it, which i would suggest. It will improve the look a lot.

Here are the closest to those specs i could find

E92 18x8.5 et13 225/40 and 18x10 et19 245/40

E91 same wheel specs, don't know the tyre size.

Thank u for the links. Hadnt seen those cars on my searches.

I have done a bit of research myself over the last week and came up with the same conclusion as you. So I'm glad I am on the right track!

All being well a drop and fender roll will follow shortly after wheels go on.

I will post some pics when the wheels go on. Hopefully Monday.

Thanks for your help.

Don't assume what fits on the E92 and E91 touring will fit on the sedan, both have about 5mm more space on the rear fenders than the LCI sedan. I'm guessing if you get those rims you will be looking at 245s and a heavy roll and possibly some camber too.

He drives Pre-lci E90 which has as much room as that Pre-lci E91. If the wheels fit to E92, it will fit to Pre-lci E90, because E92 has less room.

Well, I still think the E91 is wider than the sedan.

That part is true. I admit I read it wrong, thinking he had a LCI. Sorry for confusion!

Apologies for the blue pictures, phone was on weird setting. I'll take some better ones tomorrow after i have given her a good clean.

But as you can see they fit nicely. Theres no rubbing at all currently. But i would guess ill need a roll to go any lower thats for sure.

A drop and roll will happen once my 216's are sold, so end of next week hopefully :-D
