Building 3pc wheels- ideal e90 specs?

Hey dudes, just picked up some 3pc wheels that need rebuilding. They're 19" 5x120 so I figured this would be the obvious place to turn to.

current specs:

19x8.5 et~30, 1.5" lip, 7" barrel

19x9.5 et~50, 2.5" lip, 7" barrel

Thinking I could rebuild to 9.5/10.5 or something similar. Basically just looking for some specs that are commonly used here for an aggressive fitment so I can get the ball rolling on the rebuild.

Is your car pre-lci or lci? If you look some stretch and poke i would say most common setup for pre-lci e90 is, of course requires some camber and fender work.

Front 19x9.5 et20ish 225-235/35/19.
Rear 19x11 et25ish 265/30/19

Thanks a lot for the info man! I should have said I don't own an e90, just want to build the wheels to suit the market as I'm not sure what else they'd realistically fit!

Ah ok. Wouldn't it make more sense to sell them as they are or possibly to make the size to what buyer wants?

they are not in good shape :/ so I want to refurbish them either way





I think sizing them for a specific buyer is a good idea, though it would take a while I'm sure. Still weighing options.

Yeah at that shape you wont get much money. Those specs that i suggested above would fit to E9X series and most likely would be interesting setup for guys/ girls who are interested at stance. Only to the e90 LCI it would be harder to fit, because wider rear track. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=933743

Also depending what center bore wheels have those probably can also fit to e39, e60 rwd, and of course M3 E9X series..

If you can build them to what someone wants you have more buyers, since then those can be fitted to any BMW.
