will lms fit

only1 · 11-30-2009, 03:58 PM

I have an 09 335i lci. I have a chance at some bbs lms but the rear is 19 x 10 +25 offset. is this to aggressive?

Derek Zoolander · 11-30-2009, 04:23 PM

It's easily doable with stretch and fender roll. I'd do a 235/35 or 255/30.

Peter@VMRWheels · 11-30-2009, 04:36 PM

19x10 ET25 on LCI will be somewhat difficult but you'll definitely need to fender roll.

265/30/19 may not work properly, but with 255/30/19 you'll get a "crazy" stretched look.

Derek Zoolander · 11-30-2009, 04:39 PM

255 on a 10 is not crazy stretch. Compared to everyone on here it's a stretch, but it's pretty mild.

Peter@VMRWheels · 11-30-2009, 04:57 PM

I guess is all relative and depends on personal opinion. On some of the stretches I've seen, the sidewall is not wide enough to go to the edge of the rim!

19x10 ET25 will be very aggresive on an e90 LCI.

The e90 LCI in this thread has 19x10 ET37, so the LMs will stick out 12mm more.

depends on tire size & brand along with what type of drop you have planned. You will likely need fenders rolled and to run negative camber... this size and offset is very aggressive for an LCI!

That's what stretch is...

10" et25 is perfect for LCI, IMO.

It's relative to the conservative setups ON THIS SITE. You guys need to venture out of here to see other setups. E36 guys know how it's done.

What's the point of going to a wider rim if you aren't getting a wider footprint? The whole point should be to get a wider tire so you have more contact patch. All you guys who are putting tires on that produce the "stretch" look are completely missing the point, not to mention I personally think it looks retarded. Maybe I'm in the minority who opts for performance over the flavor of the day appearance.

You're missing the point of it. It's for looks, not performance.
Low offset + wide wheel = fat lip
8" wheels look retarded from behind.

Our VW/Audi markets do 215 on 8.5 or even 225 on 9.5 fairly often. Because we know that the BMW crowd tends to be a little conservative when it comes to tire stretching, we provide relatively conservative options. Some customers even resort to using lighter fluid to bead the tires.... To me its a bit insane

Derek Zoolander · 11-30-2009, 07:38 PM

I ran 215 on a 9". There's lots of 225s on 10"s.
Fortunately, we can easily tuck 10"s on the E9x, so stretch isn't necessary unless the wheel has a low offset.
I'm considering a set of Artec wheels with 19x10" rear and Porsche fitment. I'll need adapters that put me at et27 max on my LCI.
