what size do i get ?

found a set of wheels i would like to get. not sure of what offsets and diameters that will fit my car. i have a 2008 e92 335xi, lowered on H&R coilovers.
Im currently running 19" VMR's 8.5 in the front 9.5 in the back not sure of the offsets.

the sizes available for the new wheels i like are:

19x8.5 +30 | 19x9.5 +35 or +22 | 19x10.5 +22

what size should i go with are these compatible with my car? staggered or a square set up ?

also what size tires will i need?
and lastly, I would rather not roll fenders or do any other modifications. just looking for a bolt on set up.

thanks for any help in advance.

and if the 19"s aren't ideal fits, are the sizes available in 18"s any better ?
here are the specs for the 18"s:
18x8.5 +30 | 18x9.5 +35 or +22 | 18x10.5 +22

Garage List
I have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 both with +32 offset on my '11 E92 335xi. Tires are 235/35-19 and 275/30-19.

On the stock suspension, I was rubbing in front on the inner edge of the tire, and the outer edge of the rear tires.

I'm now lowered on Koni FSD shocks & B&G springs with -2.5° front and -2° rear camber. I get a tiny amount of rubbing but much less than before. I have 12mm spacers on the way for the front which I believe should fix the front rubbing and get me closer to flush. With that much negative front camber I have a good amount of space at the moment. I may end up rolling the rear fenders a tad.

If you went with the same tire sizes as me, and 19x8.5 +30 front and 19x9.5 +35 rear, you'd be right about ideal.

If you don't have camber plates you probably won't be able to run as much of a front spacer as me, because you won't have as much negative camber in the front.

A trouble free staggered setup we recommend would be 19x8.5/9.5 with ET35 F and ET33 R. No mods will be required. We have some great deals right now. Feel free to PM us for any assistance.
