M3 Wheels on e90 Need Definite Answer

I have done research on this but cannot get a positive answer. I have an 09 e90 sport suspension car. I need to know if a set of 2010 M3 19's would fit my car without a fender roll. I have read the front is not a problem running the 235-35 but some say the rear will work with the 265-30 others say it wont. Can someone out there tell me if they have this set-up on their car does it rub on the rear or what size tire do you need to not rub. I am looking at DWS's I can get the rims for almost nothing. If they do not work then I will just buy some VMR's or AG's. Please do not attack me. I am not new to sports cars or rims. Thanks in advance.

I'm going though the same thing. the 220m rims are 19x8.5 29et and 19x9.5 23et. If you search then you probably saw the gold e90 that fit them. You will need to roll the fender and cut the part were the fender and the rear bumper meet. I should have mine done in about 2 weeks I hope, but I'm trying a square set-up. 19x8.5 29et all around with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. good luck.

I ran 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 front and rear respectively. No rubbing at stock height. Little rubbing on coilovers even with fenders rolled

Specs on wheels are 19x8.5 29 19x9.5 23. I am not sure exactly what years the m3 had these wheels on but the set I am looking at came off a 10 m3. If they dont work without rubbing or fender mods then I guess I wont try it. Thanks

They will not work in the rear. A pre-LCi can make it work but just barely, your 09 will rub.

Definitely more aggressive in the rear than we recommend. You'll need to do some fender work and stretch the tires to make that work out.

Thanks everyone for the info. I greatly appreciate it and I will just start looking elsewhere at the aftermarkets. My car is space grey so gunmetal wont work. Want to go with black. My last BMW I had chrome 19's on it and they are hard to keep clean!
