I own an e90 sedan m sport pre lci currently sitting on mv3s (225 40 and 255 35 18)



about to buy a pair of rims and narrowed it down to two pairs.

i want the widest/most concave look i can get WITHOUT modifying or causing any issues like rubbing etc ....

i currently am not lowered but pretty soon i am looking to go a little lower with springs so please bare this in mind as i dont want issues down the line either



Wheel 1

front :19 x 8.5 or 19 x 9.5 ....ET 33, 35 or 43
rear :19 x 9.5 ET 33, 35 or 43



Wheel 2

front : 19 x 9 or 19 x 10 ....ET 18, 25, 35 or 38
rear : 19 x 9 or 19 x 10 ....ET 18, 25, 35 or 38



and then what tyre sizes...i dont want super skinny low profile/stretched tyres...or really bulky tyres just whatever the normal size should be for the rim (the wider the better but not if it causes potential issues)



Any help would be much appreciated!

there must be other ones that will fit surely?

Yes but you asked for the most aggressive one that will fit. From your options I think Monaco already told you your best choice. You could also do 9.5 et33 with a 245/35/19 all around and a 12mm spacer in the rear.

All of those widths and offsets will fit to your car. Some of them will require fender work or stretched tyres. From wheel number 1 you could do,

19x8.5 et33 front 235/35/19
19x9.5 et33 rear 265/30/19

Or 19x9.5 et33 front with 235/35/19, then you might consider spacer to rear.

perfect!


so from wheel 1 i can have

19x8.5 et33 front 235/35/19
19x9.5 et33 rear 265/30/19



and wheel 2

19x9 et35 front with 235/35/19
19x10 et35 rear with 265/30/19



and the above will work without any modification, any issues and will be fine even if lowered

You should consider

Wheel #1

Front 19x9.5 et33 with a 245/35/19
Rear 19x9.5 et33+12mm spacer=et21 with a 245/35/19.

You'd be able to rotate your tires and its a more aggressive fit.

i'd like to have the wider tyres personally as i love the wide tyre from the rear look hence wanting wider than my current 255s and don't want to run spacers unless i'd have to.

also i do very very low mileage so rotating isn't much of a worry

Sounds like you've got it figured out then. Good luck

thanks for the help

If you want something a bit more conservative, option one with 19x8.5 ET35/19x9.5 ET33 will fit perfectly fine. Something slightly more aggressive is what MonacoBlue suggested.

i definitely want the most aggressive/best concave/widest rim possible for each wheel without modification



i can't decide between the two wheel styles so want to know the most aggressive option for each wheel


then i can finally decide on what style
