Just landed a set of 359's and wondering if they'll fit on my e90 335i xDrive LCI.
I'm a little worried about the offset in the rear but these wheels are gorgeous and i need to make them fit lol

Wheel specs are as follows:

front 19x9 et 31
rear 19x10 et 25

also, what tire size should I go? Im thinking 235x35 in front and 265x30 in the rear. any help would be awesome.

Thanks!

Those can fit but they will need some work. Stretched tire, lowered and some negative camber. Some members on here are really good and aggressive fitments. They can probably chime in and help you with the exact tire size and how many degrees of negative camber you are going to need.

Since you have Lci and xdrive it limits your tyre sizes to pretty much the 235/265 combo or 225/255 combo. The front is bolt on fitting, but As Nitrous Garage said rear needs fender roll and added camber and you can fit these. The narrower tyre combo would make the fitting easier. Also with narrower tyres i would use 10mm spacer at front to match the rear better.

This one is 19x10 et15 pre-lci (et25 on lci equals et17 on pre-lci) and 265/30/19, but Falkens which run narrower than other brands.

This one has the look that you would get, if you would add 10mm spacer to front. Don't know tyre sizes tho wheels are 19x9 et25 and 19x10 et15 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...48&postcount=1

Thanks guys, I'm thinking that I may just have to run 4 fronts. trying to get the rears to fit is going to be a nightmare.

hi guys, i thought i would chime in and say hello and put my two cents in.

background of my car.
I have a 07 e90 335i.
i have style 95 wheels with these tire/wheel specs
225/35/19 (front) 19x9
255/30/19 (rear) 19x10

with the offset of 24 at all four corners.



correct me if i am wrong but i believe with those specs my 95's are a tad more aggressive than the 359's
now when i first had these wheels fitted on stock sport suspension and stock fenders, they ran about 90% or the time without any rubbing.. with or without passengers.

since then i have now upgraded my suspension to bilstein b12 pro kit and still stock fenders.. the drop is very mild but the springs are a tad stiffer and the dampening is a ton better. as a result, my car ONLY rubs on this one specific dip on the highway, so essentially issue free. i would have to say i now run about 99% of the time without issue.
the combination of stiffer springs and better dampening keeps from compressing too much.

With that said..... please rock them as is.. they look so badass...

Looks good and i know that it would fit pretty much without issues to Pre-lci E90, maybe even without fender roll. It depends from so many things, but OP has LCI (it has 8mm/side wider reartrack) which would mean that et25 rear is the same as et17 at pre-lci and that will need fender roll and slightly added camber. For example 19x10 et20 265/30/19 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...65&postcount=9

GOOD NEWS! After a little fender rolling and trying on a conti extreme contact DW, the rears are clearing pretty well! still a tiny but of rubbing on big dips and bumps but nothing i cant deal with. Now, The issue is the front tires. Ive found that in order to maintain a rolling diameter of under 1% i will need to run 235/265 Now my question is: Will I be able to run 235/40 in the front for more meat on the front tire and keep the rears as is (235/35) or would i have to go 235/35 - 265/30? the idea of stretched tires up front in NYC is giving me anxiety lol PS. i got a flat last night up front with 245/35 up front

I had 225/35/19 on my e90 et 24 and it was a small stretch on my 9" wheel.
If you go 235/40 you will rub and you will break your transfer case. In short yes you can do that but after a few miles it will break your transfer case.

235/35/19 and 265/30/19. Thats it.

The only time you will have an issue is if you suck at parking. No protection so don't penetrate lol
