I am considering to replace my stock 17' OEM rims+ RFT with 19' OEM CSL. F9x8 offset 47mm, R19x 9.5 offset 27mm, weight ~ 24LBS each for the front, 25.5 for the rear. Tires will use non-RFT 225/40 19 for fornt and 235/35 19 for rear to keep the performance. Mine is 325i A/T.
My questions are :
1) will they fit without rubbing the fender?
2) What is the difference in fuel consumption and performance esp. in acceleration ?
3) Can I know who is using OEM CSL 19 rims in his E90 in this forum ?

Thanks

• I believe that a few people rolled their fenders, but they should be able to chime in on that.
• Acceleration/Fuel consumption differences are negligible at best.
• I believe that Longtran had CSL's on his car. Hit him up.

The main thing is that the overall weight of the wheel and tire remains about the same. The weight of the wheel is just offset by the heavy RFT.
