For an LCI the best offset would be 19x8.5ET35 for the front and 19x9.5ET35 for the rear.

Hope this helps. Feel free to PM me any questions you might have.

You should run 235/35/19 in the front and 265/30/19 in the rear.

if you are going to run 19x9.5 et 35 in the rear with 265 tires, don't go with kumhos, i am on oem sport suspension on this setup and i rub occasionally

+1 The Kuhmo's have a squarer sidewall. I had to drop down to a 255/30/19 and that elliminated any rubbing.

how about a flushed look for 18" 8.5/9.5 VMR VB3's?

The word "flush" can be deceiving... If you are looking to go with our VB3's, I would recommend going with a 8.5 +40 front and a 9.5 +45 rear. With the 9.5 +45 rear's you'll have a larger opportunity to run different tire manufacturers as well as spacer sizes to your preference of "flush".

I like your ideal on aggressive fitments

I agree going with this set up, but it's an aggressive size so fender rolling should be required on this set up, unless for whatever reason this is just an amazing set up with no rubbing.

sucks how LCI cars can't run aggressive offsets like the pre-LCI E90's.

It's a good thing

There's more selection in the higher offset anyways for BMW's

there's a ton of companies here that offset 19x9.5 +35, 19x10 +37, 19x10 +38, 19x9.5 +33

Those all sit pretty aggressive on an LCI and work out well without having to run a ridiculously low offset or a spacer.

Less wear on wheel bearings and a lighter wheel, while getting an aggressive look...win win situation

I would go with the 19x10 based only on the way your car looks

Do you think you could squeeze a 275 in the back without the spacer? I'd even consider a roll with a 275 to gain 3x the number of tire choices.

If not, what are some other tire choices in a wide/square 265? I don't think your rears look stretched, but only because of the Generals. I think the wrong tire could look to small on these. Tread and section wide specs on Tirerack aren't very helpful.

You can do it with a 275 Falken or Toyo! We have a local customer who is running a 19x10 +38 with a 5mm spacer and 275 FK452's with a very slight rubbing over big bumps.

No rubbing here and i havent rolled the fenders yet Its an ideal set-up for the rear of the LCI's imo!!

Plenty of room for a 275. If you roll you can pull it off easily even with the spacer.
