OEM 219M m3 wheels w/ Non-M friendly tires
I have a beautiful set of silver OEM 219M wheels originally from a 2011 m3 coupe. These wheels are essentially PERFECT. No curb rash, no nicks or dings. They are flawless. The tires are Hankook Ventus V12 in the following sizes: F: 235/40/18 R: 265/35/18 All tires are almost brand new and have significant tread left on them. I will not ship the wheels, and I will not separate wheels from tires. No TPMS. Local pickup only. SOLD Pics installed on my former e90 330i: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=613831 FAQs: Will these fit on a non-M e90/e92 without rubbing? Well, it depends. I had these wheels/tires on my pre LCI e90, stock sport suspension, and fenders were NOT rolled. I had no rubbing issues about 99% of the time. At a high enough speed and with a big enough dip, they might rub slightly. I believe rolling your fenders would take care of all rubbing issues. However it was never significant and I never sustained any damage to my rear fenders (therefore no need to roll the fenders IMO) Keep in mind, e92's and LCI e90's have smaller rear fenders and may have more rubbing issues. Also, if you are lowered, you may or may not have more rubbing issues depending on how stiff your set up is, etc. Lots of people have still fit these on those cars though I have seen these with many different tire sizes. Why did you choose these sizes? I did a TON of research on this. I saw people using the stock m3 tire sizes (WAY too big for a non-M and therefore too much rubbing, plus it just doesn't look right). And I saw people using the stock non-M sport tires (Also doesn't look right as these tires are too small end up having a slightly stretched look). 265's = same width as the m3 set up but with a smaller aspect ratio (265/35) just looks right with that meaty tire filling up the wheel well and aggressive wide tire without significant rubbing issues. 235's = in order to match the rolling diameter ratios (from front to back) of the e90 sport pkg wheels, I went with the 235/40's up front. The size is appropriate for the wheel, and the ratio is still very similar, and therefore will not throw anything off like the speedometer. I contemplated going with the m3's 245's up front and just downsizing the rears, but the much larger size up front would throw things off too much. Why the heck didn't you get the gunmetal versions? Honestly, I think the silver ones look better. A very OEM+ look. The offset and fitment of these wheels are aggressive enough in silver, and I think it just looks better, especially on certain colors like silver. Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks. A couple pics installed...

They sure will... rear fenders are slightly smaller than the pre-lci e90 so there could be a little more risk of rubbing, but rolling fenders could possibly solve that. Not 100% since I didn't have an LCI.

I noticed in your original build thread that you mentioned me and I wanted to thank you for that. I eventually went back to OEM spec 225F/255R tires, but they were Michelin Pilot Super Sports, which tend to be wide to begin with. There is no way any stretch is noticeable. I also have -2.2 negative camber on the rears, so there is 99.9 percent confidence of no rubbing, unless you are carrying two adults in the back on a track at Summit Point Shenandoah Circuit in WVA: Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires: Hankook V12 tires: You are right on the widening of the LCI e90 rear track. LCI sedans have 8mm less wheel well space on either side due to the extension (widening) of the track by 8mm on either side. LCI peeps are better off with an ET33 and above in the rear. Fronts remain the same. Personally, it would have been easier to replace the rear quarter panel with M3 quarter panels like Long Tran did on Creaminz' old 335i. So, what did you get to replace the e90? Just for old times' sake, I am posting my 219Ms on my SGM so others can see how they look on an dirty TiAg BMW to help you sell those fantastic rims, brother:

Thanks buddy, I really appreciate it! Your car looks great with the gunmetal on SGM. LOVE the LCI Msport conversion up front. The first car I saw that made me want these wheels was an SGM e90 with gunmetal 219M's at my first HPDE.
Ya, you're right, it likely highly depends on the tire brands regarding the sizes. The Hankooks have been pretty good for me though. Never ran with these on the track otherwise prob would have gone with some Super Sports or something. I got a new job a few months ago and there are pretty good deals on company lease cars, so I am in a 2014 Hyundai Tucson limited right now. It's actually pretty nice (not a BMW obviously, but still nice). It made decent financial sense, plus my wife and I really wanted something with decent utility. I still have the e30 so still get my Bimmer fix for weekend drives and track/autocross. Cheers man
