Will these fit the E92 ?
Just wanted if these wheels would fit on the E92 Coupe.
Front: 19 x 8.5 +35 Rears: 19 x 10.5 +40 If they do fit, would there rubbing? Is the rear going to be tucked in? Thanks |

That is the same specs that we are using on our EX-M1 wheels and they fit perfect on the coupe. Here is a link to our thread with pictures of the wheel on a E90 post member's E92.

On H&R sport springs, most of the common tire brands (Falken, General, Kumho, Hankook) will fit fine when using a 235/35 front tire and 265/30 rear tire. Our EX-M1's also fit your OEM TPMS sensors which you most likely have on your factory wheels right now.

Plus, 265 tires will be pretty stretched out on a 10.5" wide rear wheel... You'll have to get larger tires, which means you will definitely rub in the rear. I guess if don't mind the stretched look, then go for it, but there's no protection and to me, it's hazardous. The fronts are perfect with 235/35/19 tires. And if you're lowering your car with springs? I'm not sure if fender rolling will even do the trick of getting rid of the rubbing situation with tires larger than 265. Good luck. |

Here a pic of it on the car. The rear fitment is not as aggressive as you think. We would not bring a wheel to the market that would not fit the car.

The car belongs to a member here on the forum and he posted pics of it to show how the wheels sit on a coupe (and its very proper fitting I might add) and how the gold finish looks against a white body. I have no idea if there are future plans to lower the car. The front tire is a 235/35 and the rear is a 265/30 (Falken FK-452 model).

Hmmm interesting. I'm hoping your customer might come in and let us know. I'd like to know how it fits when it gets lowered with larger tires. I don't know, for me, I'm not into that stretched of a look, but my .02.
Thanks for the picture |

Always here to help out the community! It must be noted that not all 265/30's look like this on our 19x10.5 rear wheel. No two 265/30 sidewall's are exactly the same size, they vary by tire manufacturer.

It may fit, but that rubber is stretched out to the max. Personally, I wouldn't run that. I wonder if wider rubber would still fit without rubbing?
With the sidewall in that condition, I'm not sure he's getting the best performance possible either. Just because it "fits" doesn't mean it's optimal. |

Certain 275/30 tires, such as the Michelin PS2 and Goodyear Eagle F1, most likely will not fit without rubbing because of their larger sidewall design. 285's are definitely out of the question, even on the sedan.
