Im looking at a set of wheels, shoudl i go with them?

piggelin · 04-06-2010, 04:00 PM

I found M3 replicas for my E90.

I am not going to buy spacers.

This is the deal:

19x8.5 ET42 (Front)
19x9.5 ET45 (Rear)

Will this fit good on my car? Or will it seem to much into the cars wheel housing?

I have h&r springs too. what do you guys think? any pics of installs close like this?

The factory offsets for 8.5s is 37. These wheels would be recessed and you will probably not like the look.

you will most likely need spacers with that setup on and E90. most people run a 19 x 8.5 et 35, 19 x 9.5 et 33-27 to make it flush on the 4 door body style. I think the offsets that you are looking at are more for the E46 body and the new 1 series body.......

with the setup you have now, it will look very tucked in, especially with the lowering.

i'd suggest you go with different offsets.

You'll need spacers with those high offsets.

You would need like a 23 in the rear to make it look good lol

the seller has ET27 19x9.5. Will this rub my fenders? im not rolling them.

piggelin · 04-06-2010, 08:25 PM

lets check this again.

the seller could get me:

19x9.5 ET27 (rear)

will they fit with h&r springs? or will i rub my fenders?

i dont want to roll them

piggelin · 04-06-2010, 08:28 PM

he also seem to have et40, is that too small?

Robmaster · 04-07-2010, 01:32 AM

best offset for E90 pre-LCI without fender rolling:

19x8.5 ET 30-35
19x9.5 ET 30-35

Thanks robmaster, but with ET27, will they rub? Its only 3 mm

14mm MORE clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 2mm

my friend has 19x10 ET35 and 19x9.5 ET27 when i compared it with my wheels i want to buy, on the wheel calculator here on the page. i got this result.

Et30 And ET27 is only 3mm. And compared to my friends car, its only 2mm difference

New springs and et27 on the rear, and they wont rub, or will they?
