Hey,

I have an 2009 e90 LCI with NO SPORTS packages and was wondering whats the most agressive set up the car can have without rolling the fenders and I do not plan to lower the car.

From the research I did it seems like 19x8.5 in the front (235/35/19) and 19x9.5 in the rear (265/30/19). I'm trying to get the most agressive set up possible without any rolling. I do not want to buy the set up and regret that I could go more aggressive so thats why I'm double checking !

Thank You

P.S - going to buy avant garde m359 or m310 in few days, looking to buy new but if you have some for sale that are almost new, I'm willing to buy. Located in the GTA.

I have this exact setup in ET35 at both ends. I initially had some rubbing in the rear when going around curves with people in the backseat--Michelin PSS have a VERY wide shoulder. Took it to an alignment shop and they dialed in the most camber they could while still being within spec. I've gone probably 12k on the PSS since then with no rubbing at all.

I think if I went with a narrower tire (still a 265 section width, but less aggressive shoulder), I would have been fine on the stock alignment. That said with tires that have a less aggressive shoulder and adding in some camber, it might be possible to fit 275s under there without rolling.

I been searching for the most agressive setup for a lci sedan without sport package and can't find any... I want to be certain of the fitment

8.5et20-22 235/35/19
9.5et30-33 265/30/19

That will be flush in the front and rear. There is a chance you'll need to roll the rear fenders or adjust camber.

You could also do
9.5 et 30-33 with a 245/35/19 all around.

You shouldn't have to roll your fenders but the tires will be slightly stretched.

There is less of a chance of rubbing with the higher ride height.

So theres no chance of me going 275s 19" 9.5 et 30 in the back :'(

[bmw325i]

If you roll your fenders you can.

You'll need a 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 and you'll definetly need a fender roll. The front and rear will poke about 8mm.

The V portion is typically orange and yours are black. Perhaps done by the previous owner? Ae's are a must on any Bimmer!!!

People quit telling this guy rear pre-lci fitments.

19x9.5 ET35 with 265 rear tires puts about a pinky's width between the tire and the inner fender with H&R springs on LCI E90. Not lowered? I imagine you might be able to go ET33. It would be safe to get ET38 rims and just mess with spacers. Anything below ET30 and they're sticking past the fenders.

I know I'm trying to save so money up but the prices are ridiculous. There like 800 for both lights. And there not orange because there is a tint around that part
