I installed mine today:
-Front: 8.5", offset 40mm, 245/35/19 Fusion ZRi -> No rub with full left/right turns.
-Rear: 9.5", offset 20mm, 275/30/19 Fusion ZRi-> No rub with two adults on some dips.

Observation:
-Front: the tire side is very close to the strut (where it connects with the spring, ~2-3mm).
-Rear: wheels stick out very aggressively and there're ~ 2-fingers space available on the strut side.

Recommendation:
For 8.5"/9.5" wheels, 35mm offset in front and 30mm offset in rear will make the wheels look PERFECT.
For 8.5"/10" wheels, go for 35mm all around with 245/35 F, 285/30 R.

I love the look of the 245/35 and 275/30 on 8.5"/9.5". The front wheel diameter is a bit bigger than the rear (235/35 and 275/30 set up will correct that)

From the experience yesterday when I installed my wheels, I won't ever install any 9.5" wheels with less than 30mm offset for sport or non-sport

you have any pictures? pics would be awesome
thanks for that heads up as I myself have a E90 non sport and am looking to go the 19' wheel route. So lets say I want replica csl wheels i should go 30mm offset rear, 35mm for the front? What's the offsets on the oem cls wheel?

What do u guys think about csl replica 19x9.5 m3 offset 22mm with 265/30/19 with H&R race springs? Do u think it will rub? Other wise ill just keep my e46 offset 45mm with 15mm spacers. I really dont want spacers

Yes, it will rub. Some members got the rubbing even with the sport package. Keep the e46's and use 15mm spacer.
