Depends if LCI or pre LCI. If pre LCI then:

ET40 is fine but will sit a little into the front arches. 10mm spacers would get it sitting a bit more flush.

235 35 19 front tyres 255 35 19 rear or go up to 265 30 19. I have 275's on the rear but ET27 offest and the outer edge rubs if you hit a big dip in the road!

If LCI then the offset won't make the wheels sit in so much and you'd get away without spacers.

Sorry, it's 30 profile on the 255 rear tyres, not 35 assuming the standard 8" front and 9" rear wheels.

What difference does it make if the car is LCI or not? How does the offset make any difference between LCI and pre-LCI? Not having a go, just very curious about this as I have just come out of a pre-LCI E90 into an LCI E90 and I am planning to change the wheels at some stage in the future. Are you saying that I can't go as low on the offset on my LCI vehicle?
