lci fitment question

asian010 · 02-09-2011, 01:48 AM

so im about to put 19x8.5 et 30 235/35/19 and 19x10 et 37 265/30/19 falken fk452s on my e90 335i lci dropped on eibach pro kits.

will i have rubbing issues and all that? with 400 pounds of passengers in the back? i do not have a fender roll. could i possibly somehow put a 275 on the rear? maybe even a 245 in the front. would hankook v12s fit on my current set up in the same sizes? what about nitto invos. i know they have a more square sidewall compared to the falkens and t1rs. and i believe my camber is at -1.7 -1.8 ish or something like that.

im a nub with this offset tire wheel fitment stuff.

I suspect you will rub up front. rear will be tight running a 10" rim on a 265 tire, 275 I would say no way.

Gavin@MMW · 02-09-2011, 11:29 AM

You will need a fender roll with a 275/30 if you have people in the car a lot. The front will be fine with a 245/35. a 265/30/19 would be a safe option, but both are do-able.

To stay with the safer option, I would recommend a 235/265.

8.5 +30 with a 245 is quite aggressive up front and lowering may cause some rubbing.

10 +37 with a 265 FK452 should be fine but this will also depend on your alignment and specific height.

Hankook V12 may cause rubbing issues if lowered with a full cabin. Nothing a very slight fender roll cant fix though.

How about this same setup/offsets without lowering springs? I'm looking to go 245/275. Anyone know of rubbing issues on an 09 lci? Not trying to thread jack, but had similar question at stock heights.

on stock height i think you should be fine. with a full load maybe... rubbing in the back but nothing a fender roll wont fix.

Ill have to agree with this. Under compression or cornering, rubbing may occur but this all depends on tire manufacturer and alignement characteristics as well.

John_01 · 02-13-2011, 04:56 PM

How about Continental DW's as far as 245/275 on stock springs? Does anyone know if they run wider or what?
