HELP: Opinions on wheels & tires!

Akura · 07-20-2010, 05:59 AM

Just a quick question for anyone who understands wheels and tires since I'm a noob here. Picking up a set from a few options this weekend. Would these fit my E90 LCI? Too aggressive?

Fronts: 19x8.5 et 40 - suggestion on tires: 235/35/19
Rears: 19x9.5 et 25 - suggestion on tires: 275/30/19

Please help! Thanks in advance, guys

way too aggressive in the rear. Ideal setup is 19x8.5 ET35 in the front and 19x9.5 ET40-43

Fronts are perfectly fine, but the rears are extremely aggressive.

Rear fitment will require fender rolling/pulling to fit those 275's. The LCI models do require a higher offset wheel due to the widened track.

Thanks for the input! Would they still fit tho with narrower tires?

Thanks, Charles. Would rears fit with narrower tires? What's the ideal offset for LCIs?

It's not THAT aggressive...run a 265 tire and roll your fenders...maybe a slight pull

The rear is super aggressive for an E90 LCI Sedan. The recommended size for the car is a 19x9.5 ET40-43 in the rear with a 265/30/19 tire. If you're looking to put the 19x9.5 ET25 with a 275/30/19 you are going to have to roll and pull your fenders to get it to work properly.

It can work with a 255 or a narrow 265 tire with some fender work.

Thanks, MassBimmer! May I know what you're running, and how much would a roll + pull cost me?

Thanks, Alan! I'm also worried about tires. How much would a roll, pull, and tires cost me? Do you have any pics of your past customers with similar setup?

Am I going to be stretching the 255 tires with 19x9.5?
