We would need the offset information for your wheels to properly tell you if it will fit and or what modifications are needed.

depending on tire size, your gonna rub in the front. i rub goign over bumps with a 235 fk452 on et 30. should be fine in the rear with a 265 possibly even a 275 rounded tire

VMR says 275 on a 10" rear is too aggressive for the e90 lci... :dunno:

I would suggest a 265 tire in the rear and you should be ok...if you drop, you might need a slight fender roll

If you have an LCI, the back WILL rub running a 10" et 35 wheel unless you are running a stretched tire e.g. 255 and even then depending on the tire you still might rub when going over bumps or with people in the back seat so a fender roll might be necessary. A 9.5" et 35 wheel in the rear is as agressive as you can go if you intend to run a 265 tire without any risk of rubbing. (assuming of course you are not planning to roll your fenders)

As for the fronts (19x8.5 et35) you will NOT have any issue with rubbing w/a 235/30 series tire.

I am running 19x8.5 front et 35 on 235/35 tire and 19x9.5 rear et35 on a 265/30 tire - NO RUBBING WHAT SO EVER.

You're also running an et 30 off-set up front (that's a lot more agressive of a set-up).

^^ what he said. ET30 is more aggressive than ET35

He's buying my set of wheels and he will not rub in the front. Rear he "might* need a slight fender roll if he's slammed but unlikely because i'm tucked in the back and i have plenty of fender room. The wheels are fitted with Falken 452 which are known to run narrow and more of a rounded tire.

I even tried running a 3mm spacer (making it ET32) in the back to make it more flush and I only rubbed on hard turns with people in the back seat so ET35 on a rounded 275 should be fine.

Isn't Asian's car pre-LCI?

I was running 235/35 fronts, ET35 and 275/30 ET42 with no rubs on stock LCI sport suspension.
