Ive posted in numerous threads and PMed numerous people with questions about wheel/tire fitment. Im hoping someone can give me a definitive answer on weither this setup can work or not. Ok I bought a used set of avant garde 310s from a friend. They are at the powder coater now. Im concerned about the rear wheels because they are 19x9.5 +22 offset. I already ordered tires which should arrive this upcoming week. The rear tires are 265/30/19s. My car is a Pre LCI e90 335i so I believe I have a tad more clearance then the LCI e90s. A few weeks back I had my rear fenders rolled to allow the wheels/tires to fit. I am lowered on KW V1 coilovers, Ill attach a pic of how the car sits now. Ive asked alot of people questions about this setup and Ive talked to people that are using +22 rear offsets. But Im getting a ton of different responses. So Im wondering if the 19x9.5 +22 offset wheel will work with a 265/30 tire on my car or if I wasted a lot of money doing all this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It depends how aggressive the roll is. I had 19x10 ET22 Advan RS-D's on 2007 e90 335, tire sizes were 265/35/18. With a roll it was rubbing just a bit, with a shave there were no problems at all.

With your sizes of 19x9.5 ET22 and 265/35/18, a roll should be sufficient. If it doesn't clear you have a choice of either shaving the fenders or going down to 255/35/18. But in my experience you should have very minimal or 0 rubbing at all with you + 1 passenger.

You will be fine with a 9.5 rim on the rear SMS that offset especially on a 265. A roll and you will be fine there not aggressive at all bud so quite worrying

Well thats good to hear. And the rear tires Id be using are 265/30/19. But its good to hear it will work. Ive just heard alot of other people say it wont work. So I was kind of nervous about it. Thank you for your help.

Thank you I appreciate the help. It seems like plenty of people say it can work, but others say no and make me doubt it. So hopefully everything works out fine. Thanks again.

Sorry for the semi-thread thread jack OP, but it kind of goes along with your question a bit.

Do you know what front and rear sizes/offset I will need to run, to be flush on a Pre-LCI E90 with sports suspension? I don't know anything about rim/tire size and would appreciate the help, and want to look nice and wide from the rear. Thanks.

What do you want run 18 or 19 ?you could get away with a 11 in the rear with a offset of 20-25 depending what you consider flush to be. PRE LCI have smaller axles so you can run a bit more then LCI

Bold was what had me questioning what I need to run but yes, I would be looking into 19" wheels. My only requirement would be to have no rubbing, even with a full trunk and 5 people. Would 11 look pushed out, or flush? And I don't believe I would want to stretch the tires, as I heard that hurts performance/reliability of the tire?

Depending on the offset an 11 could be either pushed out or be flush. If your on stock sport suspension and still want to fine with a full car I would say go 11 with a 25 offset and you can still have some meat with a 275 tire. I don't like to much stretch also and like a bit of meant there so I'm running a 285/30 on a 11.5 obviously though with a much lower offset

Awsome, but hopefully I wont have to mess with camber as Id rather not burn through tires.
