Hey guys hopefully you guys can help. I'm looking to buy a set of wheels.these to be exact (http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=385831). and wondering if they fit on my LCI 328 2009. And what tire sizes should i get.

Those offsets are pretty aggressive, but I don't think it's impossible to fit on an LCI. Keep in mind that LCI has a higher offsets comparing to pre-LCI by about 3-4mm (I could be wrong).

I would say if you are not planning to lower your car, 235/265 tires are gonna be just fine. If you are lowering, fender roll all 4 corners and go with something like 225(235)/255 combo.

Thanks a lot! a couple more questions if you dont mind. first off i dont plan on lowering mycar i like the way it is right now. i just want that flush look. where the the rims and tires are aligned with the fender. do you think these rims and tires you suggest give that appearence? would it rub even with people in the car?

The setup is far too aggressive and will not work properly on your vehicle. You might be able to get it to work if you roll your rear fenders and run a stretched tire in the back. The ideal setup for your E90 LCI is going to the 19x8.5 ET35 in the front and 19x9.5 ET40-43 in the rear. I'll shoot you over a PM with more details

Replied your PM.

I do still think the wheels will work, it's just an aggressive setup. If you want the true flush, go for it.

Who you callin' "fuckin noobs" noob... nice way to introduce yourself to this cimmunity....


So what if you have 11" et20 on your LCI...!?!?

[MassBimmer]

You can do it with tire stretch and a fender roll...just depends on how much you're willing to work at it to get it to look right

So for an E90 LCI - 35 fronts and 40ish rear is ideal setup? What is the max spacing you can do without fender roll?

[VMRWheels]

Front and rear fitment is extremely aggressive for a Non-M. Fronts will require some slight camber while the rear will require fender rolling with some slight pulling if you plan on using anything wider then a 255.

This setup can work, depending on how much elbow grease you are willing to put into it like MassBimmer had mentioned.

I generally recommend a 8.5 +35 front with a 235 tire and a 9.5 +45 rear with a 275 tire. This is flush on all 4 corners without the need of any kind of fender work at stock/sport height.

Sounds good.

As said above, those sizes are aggressive but could work with some fender rolling and careful selection of tires. I would chose a 225/255 setup on a Toyo T1R or Nitto Invo. Rolling and some extra camber will most likely be necessary
