After searching I couldn't find anything regarding ideal or best squared up version for the forgestar F14 wheels. Would 19x10 et20'work? Seems a bit aggressive. I do want the squared setup for tire life and performance. Currently driving e90 2011 xdrive. Pics would also help for the visual aspect as well if anyone has any.

Gogo my fellow wheel gurus.

If you're going for tire life and performance, then you don't want very aggressive because you will need to run camber and tire stretch to make it fit. 19x10+20 square would fall into the realm of very aggressive.

I am looking for the rim to stay inside the fender wall. Do you know what would be the most ideal or max width / offset would be? 9.5 wide? 9? I'd prefer to go as wide as possible but stay within wall spec's. Would also be willing to pull fender just a little to give room if needed.

Note: this is for a Xdrive e90.

You can do a 19x9.5 on 235/35 x4, ~et33 for the front and ~et25 for the rear. It''ll have a bit of tire stretch as shown here.

Those do look good. Thanks

That picture showed 10" in the rear. Since we are going squared setup, this shouldn't be an issue correct? 9.5 front and back

Here's a LCI e90 with 19x9.5 et 22 rear on 265/30 dropped on H&R springs. You'd get a narrower tire since you want to be square and you could do a less aggressive offset as well.

22 seems aggressive on the rear. And there is some rubbing as he noted. Any other LCI members that run aggressive squared that has pictures of their setup? I plan on lowering with springs as well if that helps

He has rubbing because he's lowered, has an aggressive offset, and has a 265/30 tire. Like I said before, you would go with a narrower tire and a less aggressive offset.

So for you, the tire would be 235/35 with et25. Since he only has slight rubbing with these specs you should be fine. Another thing you can do is get 4x 19x9.5 with a low offset like 35 and use spacers to get the fitment/look that you desire. For instance: et25 is the same as et35 +10mm spacer.

Awesome Thanks. With wheels and tires being pretty expensive I want to make sure I get this right. You guys have been very helpful.
