19x10.5 too large in the Rear?

Yaajer · 11-10-2005, 10:16 AM

Wondering if anyone has or knows somebody running on 19x10.5's in the rear of their e90's? Does anyone have pics or link? I'm wondering if the wheels might stick out a bit.

I was quoted $3458 for 19x18.5, 19x10.5 Volk LE37T Silver color with Toyo T1R tires...is this a decent deal? I have seen these wheels run anywhere between 650-800 per wheel depending on size.

I like these because they're pretty light.

Dude, I assume you get the same offset in the rear for the new rim; EACH rear wheel will extend an extra 32mm on both sides, so you'll see 64mm wider compared to the original one. IMO, that's too much. 9.5" in rear is perfect.

you can fit it, but its pushing it. what are the offset?

The offsets are:
43 mm F and 22 mm R

Can the math genius' calculate how much it will stick out please?

The e90 Calculator says

"10mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 40mm" for the rear.

For the front:
"15mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will RETRACT 3mm"

The e90 says speedo at 60mph, will actually be going 62 for the front, and 61 for the rear.

Will that be a problem?
**Edit**

If I decrease the tire width, everything looks better.
Fronts should be 235x35x19, Rear will be 265x30x19

Can any tire expert verify this setup will run ok?
