Will these fit? 19" X 8.5"F and 9.5"R both with +35 offset

I am looking at some Aodhan LS007 wheels on eBay. It sounds like they will fit with no problem. I really don't want to have to modify my car. The add says they have 72.6 bore and +35 offset for front and rear. That sounds perfect since stock is supposed to be 18x8.5 front and 18x 9.5 rear with +36 offset but I want to be sure. Also, what size tires could I use? I really don't like the look or feel of driving on 1" tall rubber bands.

eBay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/19x8-5-9-5-...sid=m570.l1313


P.S. I have a 2007 335i E93

You're wrong about the stock wheel sizes, but the ones you're looking at getting are the most common sizes that people end up putting on the E9x. 235/40 and 265/35 are also the most common tire sizes with those size wheels.

Yes those will fit. I run 19x8.5” +20 with 235/35 front and 19x9.5” +33 with 265/30 rear without any rubbing or rolling of fenders. And mine is an LCI to boot. Emilime above is correct on tire sizes for 18’s.

Sorry, missed that you want to go 19s, so the sizes that twas recommends is a safe bet for fit and no rub.

Sorry took so long to respond. I didn't sub the thread correctly so it was not e-mailing me. Thanks for the advice. (twastheglow) How do the 19's feel? Is it a decent ride or harsh. I don't want to feel like I am on a race track all the time.

It’s very subjective but to put it simply, 18’s will always be more comfortable due to the tire sidewall being taller (more cushion). I mean, I live in upstate NY where the roads are shitty and I do just fine with 19’s. Just have to be WAY more on the ball with pot holes, etc.

One of my top wheel choices now are the MRR GT1 wheels in 19". I have found 2 people selling them on e-Bay with the exact same wheel but different offsets shown.

1) Front 19x8.5 ET35 / Rear 19x9.5 ET40

2) Front 19x8.5 ET38 / Rear 19x9.5 ET35

That seems odd for the same brand to have different but very similar offsets. If those figures are accurate which is the best choice? #1 or #2? I know I can add spacers if the offset is too high but cannot do anything if it is too low. BUT, of course no spacers is the best way to go.

Both should fit, but neither combo is ideal, even though the difference is minimal. 35/35 is the most common offset for those wheel widths. Of course you can deviate from that depending on the look/fitment you want. Being that those wheels are dished and not concave, a couple of MMs aren't going to make a difference in the look of the wheeel.

Option 1. Front is fine, rear may need a spacer for wider tires.

Option 2. Rear is fine, front may need a spacer to clear the strut.

I see what you mean on the concave vs. dish thing. That is my biggest apprehension. I am unsure if the big lip/dish looks too "Camaro/Mustang" like for our cars. One seller had some photos with them on a BMW and it looked pretty good. My goal is to fill out the wheel well but I don't expect to be totally flush with the edge of the fenders to avoid any rubbing issues. One thing to note is that I am putting "M3 clone" front fenders and a "M3 clone" rear bumper, with an 1M style front bumper. Depending on how that looks I will probably want to add just about a 1"-1.5" flare to my rear quarters. Normally that is a lot of work for little result gain. BUT, I have to do body work on every panel of this car, plus one rear quarter had a crappy repair that I need to grind down and redo anyway.

P.S. Anyone have a good source for "slightly raised" rear wheel well arches? I don't want to look like a track star with 4" bolt on wheel well arches. I plan to just blend in some fiberglass ones that will have that stock M3 bump.

Dished vs concave is a personal preference, throw in the stepped lipped wheels, as well. Dished has gone out of favor these days, but it's your car, so run what you think looks good.
Dished was the craze up until about 2010 when the concave wheels began to make a scene, so at one time they were considered not Mustang/Camaro styling.

If you want to push out the rear quarters without add on body kits/over fenders/flares...find a wrecked M3 and cut the rear sections out and weld/body work on to your car, or have custom metal work done.

Buying M3 rear quarters would be as high as giraffe nuts. Plus, I have searched the whole southeast and there are NO E92 or E93 cars in the salvage yards.

Awesome looking car! But I may need to go with 18" wheels. 19's just look like a guarantee of bent rims in my town (New Orleans).

LOL, I know. I put some larger wheels on a truck I had and had them repaired about 4-5 times before I sold the truck.
