19x9 et 45 on front 335i

Will this clear the strut. It will be 24mm in compared to stock wheel setup in my e90 335
The rears will be 19x10 et 22
My buddy has wheels that I always wanted and I may be getting them cheap

I'm no expert but I'd say no way. Are you lowered at all? I'm on 18x8.5 ET20 lowered on ST coils and it's very close to the strut housing. 19x9 ET45 would be about 30-32mm further in. You'd probably need a 15mm or thicker spacer but I'll let an expert chime in.

You need a 5mm spacer to clear the stock strut. IMO you might as well go with a 20mm spacer so the front is flush like the rear. You'll need a little bit of stretch I would use 225/35/19 and 255/30/19. You'll also need to roll the rear fenders.

You'll need at least a 10mm spacer for the front. I have 18x9 et 40 and it doesn't clear the struts. If you get a 15mm spacer it will sit very flush up and probably need a little roll. At least for LCI sedan.

You must have coilovers 9"et40 should clear the stock strut. 9.5et35 clears the front strut and 9"et40 has 1mm more clearance on the inside.

I had this set up with both and I actually have more clearance with my kW coilovers than I did with the OEM setup. OEM suspension i needed at least 10mm spacers. With my KW's I only need 5mm
