Another rim and tire fitment question E90

bmwmastertech · 07-05-2022, 11:29 AM

Hello All,

I’ve been reading a ton not really posting in these E9x groups. I just picked up an pre lci 07 335i and need some help with fitment. I want to run 18x9.5 ET23 front and rear. Does anyone run this wheel size and offset ? If possible I am trying to avoid rolling fenders or other modifications. I have found a few threads one with the same sizes running 235/40 in the front with a ET22 however that was an E92 and I am not sure if the E90 and E92 have the same room in the front. I am running stock suspension with no plans to change that.

These are sizing I want to run

Front - 235/40/18
Rear - 265/35/18
Thanks everyone 🙏

Thanks so after reading that is appears that 9.5 wheels will work on the front but nothing even close to the offset of ET23. Anyone running this offset in the front on E90 ?

9.5 et 23 is just too aggressive, you'd need a ricer amount of camber to prevent it from sitting completely outside of the fender. 9.5 et 35 is possible but will be very close to hitting the strut. The "tried and true" fairly aggressive but completely doable setup is 9" et30.

Seems too me like you're going for a stretched looked? At least in the front...

A 19x9 et32 is super tight up front with a paper thin space from the strut. personally I think a 8.5 wide wheel is the way to go on these cars. Use a 235 or 245.

For a clean well fitting setup I like a 19x8.5 et30 ish and 19x9.5 et35ish. 235/275. Might need slight roll in the rear. Good amount of side wall with no stretching.

I run 18x9 et30 front with 255/35/18 and 18x9.5 et35 rear with 265/35/18. I have a 3mm front spacer in so effectively et27 in the front. I also have 2deg of camber in the front and 1.6 in the rear with my fenders and quarters rolled and I don't rub at all.

I run 10.5 et12 square around 2-2.5 degree camber in front rolled fenders and no rubbing
