What’s your guys staggered set up?

e92Rithy · 01-05-2020, 06:26 AM

I am getting 19 in rims on my 08 E92 335i and am wondering what a good staggered set up is on tires. How much bigger should the rears be? Any ideas? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Well that depends on the wheels but when I ran 19s on my e90 I ran 235/35 front and 275/30 rears

What's the thickness of your rims front & back?

19 x 8 for example?

I have an '08 e90 with the sport package, and went with the following combination to achieve 'flush with the fender' tires and as much meat as possible without rubbing on the stock suspension (no plans go lower it). It's perfect, as far as I'm concerned:

Apex EC-7
Front: 19x9 et35, 255/30-19
Rear: 19x9.5 et33, 275-30-19

In the spring I'm going apex arc-8.
F: 19x9 et28 235/35/19
R: 19x9.5 et33 265/30/19

OEM 437M
19x9 +29 245/35/19
19x10 +40 275/30/19

The above only rubbed on the oil cooler vent plastic in the wheel well when in reverse and steering at full lock to the left.

Also, the fronts barely made contact with the bottom spring cups on the struts. I believe this is because I lowered the stock MSport suspension by cutting half of the locating tab off on the strut bodies. It probably wouldn't rub if I hadn't done that. I took a grinder to the spring cups and shaved off a few mm, haven't had any issues since.

If your question is solely in regards calculating tire diameters, use an online calculator and keep front to rear no more than 3% different. For instance, my sizes above are 1% different front to rear.

apex racing wheel has a nice staggered fitment e90 guide on their website.

I'm running staggered tires on square wheels.
275/30-19 rear, 245/35-19 fronts.
Running Apex SM-10 19x9 ET30.

I think I might just stick with 18. 19 is nice but a little big :/

They no longer make those sizes.
I have a spare front and a spare rear in the wrong color.
Let me know if you ever crack a wheel. You won't be able to get a new one.

I cracked a wheel and now run SM-10s 19x9 on all corners.

Pics of your set-up? I love the SM-10s but notice a lot of people chose the ARC-8. Hard to find pics of non-M e9x on them.
