Wheel fitment question

E90burke · 01-06-2019, 04:22 PM

Hey so I have a 2009 bmw 335i and I got 18x9.5+35 wheels for the front and 18x9.5+22 for the rear. I thought it would be simple to run but from my research I can’t really tell what I need to do run them, what tire sizes I need to run, spacers, etc. I’m on stock suspsension and I just need to know what I need to run these wheels.

It looks like you have wheels made for an M3, the rears simply will not fit.

I will put 18x10 ET25 to lowered 335i in couple days. Let you know the results.

I ran the same rear size but had 18x9et30 up front. With KW coilovers & rear fenders rolled I was rubbing with with 265/35/18 MPSS so I downsized to 255/35/18 and increased camber a little bit, no rubbing after that.

Although you will have more wheel gap on stock suspension, that suspension is more lofty and has greater suspension travel than coilovers. I think the 18x9.5et22 will cause some rubbing issues no matter what size tires you go with. I'd say throw the 18x9.5et35 in rear and go with 18x9et30 up front, for tires go with F: 235/40/18 and R: 265/35/18.

Finally I got my tires installed, I have minor rubbing in rear on bumps. I didn't try with 4 people though.
Set up
18x9 ET31 235/40/18
18x10 ET25 265/35/18
