Will this setup work on an e90? 19" 8.5 +35mm & 9.5 +40mm & Tires?

Okay, so I need to know if this will work on an e90, non-sport.

The wheels on the front and rear right now are 17x8 and tires are 225-45-17 all around.

I plugged in the specs on the calculator:




The plans were for running 235-35-19 in the Front and 265-30-19 in the rear.

Now I want to know if this is going to work, or rub: 245-35-19 Front and 275-30-19 in the rear.

It'll be lowered on adjustable suspension soon so I don't think rubbing in the future is going to be much of an issue.


So the question is, can this be run on an e90 now without rubbing on the inside strut or will spacers be definitely needed?

This will fit.

Its the same offset as BBS CH 19" non M fitment.

Thanks for that fast response man, I <3 your car and wheels.

Back on topic though:

Since it says 25mm less clearance on the rims, will I have an issue in the rear with tapping my struts?

For what its worth the wheels are: 19 x 8.5 et 35mm (Front) & 19 x 9.5 et 40mm (Rear).

It will clear the struts, remember some are running 20x10 with 285 and offset 37-38.

This will fit no problem. You'll have no problems rubbing on the inside. You may even want to put a 5mm spacer for a better stance. If you want an idea of how it will look, I attached a picture of 19x9.5 +45 w/ a 265/30/19 tire. This is on a E92, which has even less fender clearance, so your E90 should have even more room in rear since there's more room on the E90 rear fender. As far as I know, the rear suspension on E92 and E90s are identical, so clearance should be a non-issue.
