I have an e90 335i xdrive LCI and am looking to install some style 71's, specs are as follows

18" x 8" et 47 225/40/18 front
18" x 8.5" et 50 255/35/18 rear

Is this wheel/tire set up usable with xdrive? Will I have to use an adapter/ roll my fenders?

Car is non m-sport not sure if that matters.
I've never owned an AWD car before, any feedback would be much appreciated.

Considering those are stock tire sizes for an xi of course they will work.. but those wheels will need some big spacers

Is that a bad thing? I dont know much about wheels and offsets and how that transfers to what it would look like. I have had these wheels for quite some time now and think that they would look good on my e90, I just dont want them to rub

Stock oem rims are 18x8 (34 offset) w/ 225-40-18 up front, 18x8.5 (37offset) w/255-35-18 at the rear

Spacers will be required to make up the difference between stock and what you are trying to use, probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 15mm

Damn you tying to hide those wheels from somebody ? That is going to be seriously tucked in. Rolling and fenders should not be in your vocabulary with the offset you suggested.

30 front
25 rear

That is the offset I run. Best all around option if you don't want to rub but at the same time don't want to use spacers to push the wheels out.
