I'm planning on investing in some forgestar super deep concave f14 19"s for my 08 e92 and I was wondering what's the most aggressive I can go without rubbing. Going for a staggered setup of 19x9.5 et 22 in the fronts and 19x11 et25 for the rears. The tires I plan on getting are continental dws or some PSS if Nothing happens to my car in the next few weeks lol. 235/35/19 for fronts and 265/30/19 in the rear. From my research, it seems like it these specs will give me a nice, aggressive setup. Also I'm on stock ride height for now by I will be investing in some KW V1s in near future to get my car a little lower to my liking. So did anyone with this setup or a setup similar to this have any problems with rubbing and had to end up rolling fenders? If that's the case how should I alter it so I won't have to deal with that problem?

The front fitment is perfect, shouldnt have any rubbing issues at all. Your rears though with that tire size you want you might have some rubbing issues, you can either roll and pull your fenders and max out the camber, or you can down size to 255/30. That is the set up i ran before actually. you can step up the profile one to 255/35. Let me know if you have any fitment questions

IMO you should get camberplates for the front or go down to a 225. The rear will fit with negative camber and rolled/shaved fenders.

So I should downsize the front also? You think 225 is the most aggressive I can go in the front?

I think you should keep the rear the same just change the front or get camberplates. If you add a little bit more negative camber you can fit the 235 but at stock camber the front wheel is going to poke 8mm and e92 front fenders are plastic. If you want it to poke then just keep stock camber and go down to the 225.

In the rear you are going to need around -2.5 to -3 camber and some fenderwork but 265/30/19 will work.

interested to see the SDC wheels on stock ride height car... I assume you have sport package?

Pretty sure if you want to run the SDC front and rear, some fender rolling and stretched tires will be required regardless if you are lowered or not, but perhaps I am wrong?

The front is not perfect and will definitely rub. I have an E90 with 19x9.5+20 and 235/35/19 with -2.5 front camber and it rubs. The E92 is even narrower than the E90.

Rear for sure will rub too.

Also just my 2 cents, you NEED to be slammed or aggressive fitment wheels look really bad. They will stick out past the body of the car.

Well what specs would you recommend for the wheels and tires? It will be on stock height for a few months then will be lowered on KW V1 coilovers

[VTECaddict]

It depends what your goals are and how much you're willing to put in to make it work. The setup you posted can be made to work, it's just not going to be plug and play without problems.

I would do the coils first, then get the wheels put on after the coils settle.

+1 either do it all at once or lower it first. Your car will look funny with agressive wheels and stock height.

[ikenjoku7]

Okay so what's the best fitment measurement tire and wheel size wise that anyone would recommend for an E92 lowered on coilovers? I would want it to be staggered

[VTECaddict]

Like I said, it all depends on what you want. There is no "best fitment" without you describing what you want.

Do you want something you can just slap on and have it work 100% without rubbing with no additional work?

Or do you want something aggressive/hellaflush/stanced and don't mind playing with alignment, fender rolling, fender shaving, tire stretching and dealing with some slight rubbing to make it work?

And no, you can't be both stanced and be able to just slap wheels on without extra work.

I'm looking for where i can just throw them in and not worry about them. But I still want the staggered look unless it's easier to deal with a square setup.

Glendora/San Dimas area. I am looking at another set of F14's. It's a little more aggressive (fronts are the same as yours but rears are 19x11 et25). Not sure if it's a big difference. Just doing a little research at this time. I will send you a PM.

I keep hearing that SDC looks bad on a stock height car but have never seen it myself. Does anyone have a picture? I hate the slammed look and my car is a DD. I also happen to think the stock height looks pretty good (sport suspension). I've only lowered the from with spring perches (10 - 15 mm drop).

so what did you decide on doing with your wheels/tires? update your thread with some pictures.
