LCI offsets?

Curently thinking of buying LM replicas for my e90 LCI. The offsets are 8.5x19 et 38 at front and 9.5x19 et 45 at rear running falken fk452 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. I've spoken to a few members asking if this will fit and all have said yes but may need spacers. But then i read a thread where another member fitted VMRs with et 45 at back running 275 fits nice an neat. So was just looking for some clarification as to what offsets and tire sizes are corrent for the LCI.

Thanks
Jonny
p.s so confused right ow!

ET45 has been used with a 10" wheel and 275 tyres. If you are looking at 9.5" wheel with 265 tyres, ET40 rear offset would be better. Some people have used ET35 9.5" wheels with certain brands of 265 tyres on the LCI.

For the front, ET32 offset is nice with 235 tyres on the front. ET38 is more suitable if you want to use 245 front tyres.

Those will fit. And you don't have to put on spacers.

I agree. Put them on first. If you are not completely satisfied, then buy some quality spacers.

Hey thanks guys. Im gonna pass on these replica lms. Fell in love with the matte black VMRs v710s so f**cking nice. lol. So trying to see if i can get some shipped to the uk. Only one vendor in uk do VMRs and they do not have the 710s in matte black.
