New to the Community! :) Wheel Question...

Shamu · 01-04-2007, 04:19 AM

Hi All!

I just ordered a 2007 335 e92 scheduled to be built in February with delivery expected to be late March/early April 2007. Needless to say, I can't wait!

I'm planning to drop the car a tad using H&R Sport Springs, and switch to 19" wheels. In my research here, it looks like the proper offset for the rears with this setup is et30 -- what about the fronts? Also, does anyone with the same or similar setup I'm planning have any input as to the proper wheel + tire sizing and offset that will not result in rubbing?

Any information is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your time!

The correct et is dependant on wheel width, so a 30 et on a 8.5" wide 19" wheel will fit differently than it would with a 10.5" wide wheel. The calculator at the top of this forum shoulc help you out - just compare whatever wheel you're looking at to the OEM 19" wheel & tire specs.

Make sure you do some research to find as much info by

This will gurantee your right on track, should'nt be too hard to find your facts and data, instead you might find more than you bargained for and thats always good thing.

I haven't mounted mine yet, but I plan for a 35mm offset on my 9.5 rears. They come stock and I want to add a 10mm spacer. Hopefully this will push them far enough, but not too far...

Ultimately it will be 15mm out further than stock...

Anyone opinions? Should I go further? I haven't ordered my spacer yet..

For e92, I have this set up ( see below ) with no rubbing and flush fender fit. I like the rear gap and will not be dropping, the front is a ltttle to high and needs at least and inch drop.

F= 235/35/19 8.5" rim 40et
R= 265/30/19 9.5" rim 30et

Thanks all for this information -- much appreciated!

NFS13 -- I'd prefer to go with a drop on all 4 corners as I'm *assuming* this will best maintain the handling characteristics of the car.

fueledbymetal -- to be honest with you, I was a bit confused as to how to use the calculator up top as I didn't think I had all the input data, but I think I better understand it now -- thanks!
