It sure looks sexy though :-)

E90 LCIs lost 8mm per side compared to the pre-LCI models. Definitely more aggressive than I'd recommend on an E90 LCI.

It's a pre-LCI 2009 right? Only had it for two weeks..

2009+ models are LCIs.

Hi, i thought i'd just ask here as i'm trying to reconcile all the info i've searched.

Strictly speaking, VMR recommends 19x8.5 et35 front on all e90s without fender mods. Some people say that a 5mm spacer and 235 wide tires fit without mods just to get a little more flush.

I have an 08 e90 (335i sedan), and i wish to fit 10 or 10.5 in the rear with 275s. What would the optimal offset be with a fender roll? I'll be running Falkens or Maxxis tires so they're more angled sidewalls.

I'm coming from years of static (coilover) setups for my cars and have no qualms with introducing camber or rolling fenders. I just don't want to clip the fronts.

8.5 ET40 seems rather conservative.

If you want a flush fitment without much effort you can do
Front 9.5 et33 235/35/19
Rear 10et25 265/30/19
You'll need to roll the rear fenders.


If you want the wheels to poke a little you can do
9.5et22 225/35/19 or 235/35/19
11et25 265/30/19

I'm in the middle of trying to decide what spacer to get for the front. I'm leaning towards a 10 but perhaps 5 is the right choice. Also, brands. H&R was my initial choice but the Renn Motorsports (Sonic Tuning) look pretty good, but I'm not sure if they're hub centric.

I'm lowering the car tomorrow with an Eibach Pro Kit (1" drop front, .8" drop rear).
