In the picture you posted, what suspension is that car on? Is it stock? Looks low for stock on an E92.

Thanks!

The car is lowered. I will find out what its lowered on shortly.

The weight wont be too much off the 9.5" . Final weights will be announced soon.

LCI's have a wider track then the previous E90's so i wouldn't recommend this offset for the weary. Fender modifications will definitely be needed for this.

If your looking to go for a ready to go package for LCI models, i would recommend the 9.5" +45 rears for the ease of installation w/ out modification.

Those 265's look a little stretched on the 19x10s, are you recommending that size because of rubbing issues? Do you see any problems with rubbing on a 275 tire because I think that would be a better size for a 10" wide wheel.

Thanks Charles.

I think I'll go with the 713 or 710 (if they have my fitment)

A General Exclaim 265/30/19 on 19x10 looks perfectly flush in person, although if you were to go down one more size, it would definitely look stretched. Keep in mind certain tires have different shoulders and widths than others, even though all of them are advertised as 265, some would look stretched (i.e. Toyo, Fuzion) and others will look flush (i.e. Kumho SPT, BFG KDW2, Dunlop Star Spec). The reason we know is that we mount and balance tires in-house. If two 265 tires are mounted on the same width wheel, and aired up, the width difference is very noticeable.

A E90/E92 can go up to 275, even 285 if you are brave and know a good fender rolling shop. If you had 235/265 and would like to upgrade to 10" in the rear, you can do so while keeping the same tires. If you want to increase rear tire width, you might also want to increase the width of the front tire to 245 or 255, so you can control understeer.

How about for the Falken 452s, any recommendation on the size for the 19x10?

Do you suggest going with a 19x9 in the front with 245/250, or just putting those tires on the normal 19x8.5 wheel?

Thanks for the suggestions btw, I am planning on getting these wheels...currently running stock wheels and ride height.

Ooh.. I wouldn't be able to tell you how Falkens compare, I *think* they run narrow but not 100% sure, because we don't sell Falkens here. 245 is an ideal width for the 8.5" wheel (which is why we didn't make a 9"). I've run 255 on 8.5 before but the tire starts getting a bit rounded. If you go with 245 you would have to be careful with the fender rubbing.

can i run the 19x9.5F and 19x10R?

The 9.5" front is a possibility with the +33 offset with some rolled fenders.

19x10 rears on 265's should be no problem at all.

Have you been corresponding with Ty?

-Charles@VMRWheels

[e92leon]

yeah I'm waiting for his reply regarding the wheels
I would rock these hard !~ lol

[raceyBMW]

Any chance you guys could get a close up shot of how the 265 tires set on these rims? I still have my concerns that they might be too stretched for me, and it sounds like I may have issues if I bump up to a 275. I really want to pull the trigger on them, I am just waiting for a little more info.

No problem. Ill try to get a picture by the end of the day today. General UHP 265 is pretty square on our 19x10's.

just wondering is the offset gonna affect the concave of the rims aswell?

thank you

Not with our wheels! 19x10 +38 and 19x10 +25 will offer the same concavity.

19x10 +38 on a 265 is the ideal setup i would recommend for you.

What about 2006 E90? Will the 19x 9.5" front also require rolled fender? What offset and tire dimension if I have sports suspension and do not want to roll the fender? Doesn't 19x8.5F and 19x10R promote under steer?

Excuse for so many questions... I hardly post anyway so I'm just shooting several birds with one stone.

Thanx

We dont generally recommend 9.5" front fitments so fender rolling might be required.

Depending on what kind of tire sizes you go with, how large of a sway bar you have, and how stiff your suspension is can determine how much under steer you could have. Going with a 235/265 combo, you should be fine.

Any picture updates showing a close up of the 265s on the wheels?
