I went from 245/35/19 down to 235/35/19 in the front. I want to take some camber out so I get a little bit of poke and lower the front a little bit more. I will probably do -1.5 front and -1.8 rear camber.

You have an E90 which has more room than those of us E92 guys.

Maybe a few mm in the rear. I'm using 5mm spacers in the rear even without them there is still a little bit of room on the inside for a higher offset.

E90 lci has less clearance and needs 8mm higher offset on the rear because the rear track is wider.

IMO Game's setup looks best out of all of those pictures. Happens to run the widest combo too...

Agreed. I wonder if a 245/35-19 would fit on a 19x9.5 and what et would be needed for an e92/93?

I'm trying to do 305s on the rear on 19x11s and the 245s will match better.

That tire will fit but will be a bit stretched on a 9.5" rim. I run a 8.5 width rim with that size on a ET35 though could go more aggressive on the offset.

I figure these guys are running 235 and 225 on these so 245 might work. It's the max width wheel listed by the makers for 245 also so I figure it'll still be safe at very high speed, which I will be doing. Right now I have 19x8.5 et 30 front with 235/35-19 if they're running the same tire et 25 on 9.5 wheels maybe 19x9.5 et 30 would work with a 245.

Yeah i think it will be a little stretched but im sure et35 would be good. Me personally would go for a 9" et 35. This is from a forum member, it might give u some guidance. I know its an 18 tire but its the same height as 245 35 19.

Apex EC-7 - Black

Front - 18x9 - ET 31 / 245/40/18
Rear - 18x10 - ET 43 with 5mm spacer = ET38 / 285/35/18

the fronts rubbed away 1/16" of the front bumper plastic lip(inside) on dips, now its great no front rubbing, rear hardly mounted without spacers due to a suspension arm that is well out of the way when the suspension compresses, but it looks much better with a 5mm spacer, but rubs on large dips and leave no marks, but a slight rear fender roll would fix this.

I need to see more of an e90 335i LCI alpine white msport with these installed please! Anyone?

[Fundguy1]

Gonna have a wheel guy see my actual car and find out what I can get away with. Front I want them to be as far out without rubbing. Rear as far in as I'm going to have to modify the quarters to fit and I want to do as little as possible.

I had 245/35/19 9.5et22 until I wore those down. Wider than I would recommend but I made it work. Now I dropped down to 235/35/19 and have more clearance.

I would say 245/35/19 9.5et30 would work on an e90 or e91 at stock camber with minimal effort. On an e92 or e93 I would worry about breaking the plastic fenders so I recommend 235/35/19.

Another thing to consider is if you are using coilovers they might not clear the front with 9.5et30 because they are wider than stock struts. I would recommend et26-28 with a little bit of negative camber.

I've had 245s on it in the past. It's more of a matter of fitting the wheels properly as they're still more narrow than the tires. I was thinking 28 myself. This would put the tire at the same spot as the ones Game has on and 10mm in more on the strut side. Just wondering if they'll hit the coilovers then. I have kwv2 lowered 1" on the front, m3 control arms, m3 front camber settings.

I think you'll be good on the strut side with 9.5 et28. You can measure off your current set of wheels if you know the specs. Personally I think 235/35/19 is barely considered stretched on a 9.5" wheel, but you are going more for function and maximum tire width. The m3 parts might give you enough camber to make 245/35/19 work. If it's too tight of a fit you could always get camberplates.

[Fundguy1]

Yeah. I'm not looking for stretch. I'm looking for steamroller. My 8.5" 30 offset wheels now with 235 barely clear. I'm thinking 245 on a 9.5 the tread will be 1/4" back on the rim edge from my current setup, 6mm, so I can go 4-5mm out more, less offset, and be OK.

IMO you should just get camberplates so you can adjust negative camber as needed. You might even be able to fit a 255/30/19 with around -1.5 to -2 degrees and offsets as close to the strut as possible.

Trying to avoid camber changes if possible. I do too many miles.

My only issue now is going Silver or Black for my Space Grey Sedan. I'm sold on these wheels...

Exact same boat as you. I have space grey and can't decide what color f14's to get.

Does anyone know, do they still do polished finish? Anyone know how much $$ they charge for that finish?

You get one style, I'll get the other style, and if we both wish we got the opposite color, we pay shipping to each other?

That could work!

But I'm sure you want 19's right? I'm sticking to 18's

I'm actually wanting 18s to stay reasonable, but I'm not sure the 18s are as deep as I want them. I may be forced to go 19. I had 19s on my G37, and the tires weren't too bad. $650 for a set of Potenzas.
