Facelifted E90 offsets

cstavaru · 07-30-2010, 09:11 AM

Everybody here tells about 8mm wider track on the LCI, but when I read the actual press releases and researched more the difference seems to be 12mm on each side, not 8mm. This is somewhat confirmed by my experience. I used ET45 in the back with 9.5in wheels and if I add 5mm spacers I am sure I will rub on the rear fender liner.

OP, here is a thread that has what you need (275 tire on 19x9.5 wheel on a LCI):

It also uses an ET45 offset.

I am the one that bumped this after seeing that thread. It is the only results I have found with 275's on a 19" wheels LCI. I was just looking to see if anyone else had luck with a more aggressive offset without any modifying of the fenders or spacers.

im running 19x9.5 35 offets with 265 kumhos in the rear, no lowering and i am NOT rubbing, kumhos are known to run more wide than most tires as well...

umzzy · 07-30-2010, 11:01 AM

Here's some..car and wheels are dirty =/ its on stock sport suspension. prob would rub if i dropped it.

LCIr · 07-30-2010, 11:25 AM

'09 LCI here:

I'm currently running V710s 19x8.5 ET25 front (w/10mm spacer) and 19x9.5 ET 30 (3mm spacer) rear with Falken FK452s (235/265) slammed on H&R....no rubbing....

Now...I'm gonna change the rear into 5mm spacer (instead of 3mm) for ET28 but I'm definitely rolling the rear fenders....

8.5 ET35 front 9.5 ET33 rear is safe...but its up to your preference...

Good luck and be sure to post pics!!! : )

Thanks! Looks like those Falkens come pretty narrow for size.

That's more stretch than I'd imagine from a 275/30 tire on 19x10 wheels.

you should've see those with 265s..you could see the entire lip of the wheel.

I've got Falken FK452's in 285/25/20 on 20x10, and there's no stretch at all.

xcuzme · 08-02-2010, 08:26 PM

anyone running a 10" wide wheel on the back of an lci?

if so, what offset?

im guessing this 8mm extra offset means i get 8mm less dish

look at my previous posts in this thread. I have 19x10's

xcuzme · 08-02-2010, 09:51 PM

thanks umzzy, i saw the 9.5 written above the pics and didnt realise it was someone else.

your car isnt lowered though is it?

ive got the m sports suspension and plan on using some h&r sports springs so it might be a bit close

anytime

my car is on stock sport suspension, which is the same as the m sport suspension. You'll rub with the same setup if you use sport springs...

This thread needs to come back... its hard as hell to find stuff for Lci e90's on this forum... Please guys post up more examples...

fastNugly · 08-10-2014, 09:08 PM

I know this is old.... But anymore threads on LCI fitment on KW V1 and the most agressive we can go?
I was planning on running Style 95's but was told the +24 offset would be too aggressive for my LCI.

But agreed! Hard to find threads for LCI's

smidtb · 06-30-2018, 02:29 PM

Bump... so I have ‘08 335xi pre-lci lowered on H&R springs. Looking to do 19x9.5 +35 squared. Modeling after this ‘09 lci:

Any issues between ‘08 335 and ‘09?

Thx in advance!

Kevindshea · 06-01-2020, 05:42 AM
