i dont think a 45 offset will owrk in the back. u need to get the 30 offset

Arnel_The_Tireguy · 08-01-2007, 09:04 PM

45 offset is ok for the rear. I would recommend 245/35-19 and 275/30-19.

Offset 45 in the rear are really high for the e90, but you can use a spacer.

And I'd go with 235/35 and 265/30 tires.

235/35/19 and 265/30/19 :rocks:

go with a 235/265 combo.... although 45 rear offset is quite high.... should bring it down to 35(or 33 with a 12mm spacer)

I'm not a fan of spacers, but I think you'll need/want them in the rear with a 45 offset.
I had 39 or 40 offset on my ASA AR1's on my sedan and with 265 tires on the rear I only had about 1/2 or so inch clearance on the inside.
45 offset with 265's MIGHT work but it would be REALLY close to rubbing and quite frankly not look too good.

I'd go with a 10 or 12 mm spacer if you are going to run 45 on back.
Or just get the 30 offset CSL rep wheel.

Oh, and yes you want 235 front and 265 rear tires.

Thanks for the Feedback Guys

i already ordered my rims with 45 offset cuz the 30 offset were out of stock ...

the looks can be handled with spacers hopefully, i just dont want any rubbing issues ...
