Hey guys here is my dilemma I currently have style 95s on my e92 with Falken 452s 215/35/ R 19 on the front and 225/35/ R 19 on the rear, as a lot of you know the style 95s are 19x10 rear and 19x9 fronts. Ive always thought the stretch on my tires was a little more then id like but since I got them with tires well hell..but I just picked up a set of VMR v715s that are 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear so my question is; will my current tires fit the wheels I just got? And if they will how will it change? Less stretch or what? Will it look bad or is it a compatible size?

It will fit. It will still be unnecessarily stretched though, a little less but not much. You can use 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 if you were wanting to change them.

Technically speaking, the fronts are still within spec for a 19x8.5, however the rears are half an inch out of spec (widest recommended rim width is 19x9). If the offsets are correct for an E90/E92, you could run a 235/35/19 up front and 265/30/19 rear without any issues. They are going to look a bit stretched, especially in the rear.

I don't really wanna have to get new tires because the rears are almost new, I also don't mind the stretch because I'am pretty lowered and I plan on running some spacers in the front and back but I definitely wouldn't mind less of a stretch and the lip less exposed also somewhat better traction

Well the style 95s are wider than the V715s are, so you'll reduce the look of the stretch a little bit.
