Will these 19" rims fit my E91?

b16jsy · 10-19-2016, 07:38 AM

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can help

Looking at some 19" wheels all with an offset of ET40. Fronts are 9.5" and the Rears are 10.5".

Will these fit my E91 330d sport pre LCI year 2006? I would plan on lowering it too probably using coilovers to help its stance.

(I currently have 15mm spacers on my standard MV3's if I need to use these too)

Cheers
Joe

Im not too sure on the e91 spec but you could compare your current wheels to the new ones here: http://www.willtheyfit.com/

Without spacers they'll hit the inside of the arch on the back and the strut on the front.

Are you going for a 225/255? You're going to need at least some form of stretch to get them to fit, and even then it will be fairly tight. I think you'll need more than 15mm spacing on the front, but you might get away with it if the stretch is enough. You'll probably need the 15mm spacer on the back, 10mm might be enough though, again a bit more stretch than I had might help.

It's going to be pretty tight. Unless you're wanting to go the fitment/Stance look and happy to be playing around with rolling arches, modifying bumper mounts, rubbing occasionally etc I'd be looking at different wheels. 9/10 is doable with the right offsets.

If you're willing to stretch tyres then yeah they'll fit.

For reference I'm running 225/40 and 255/35 on 18s that are 8.5/9.5 ET20, and I'm pretty close to arch with a slight roll but no pull.

Thanks for the info - I've decided against them for now as I don't want any if's and but's or maybe's! And i don't want to go as far as rolling arches etc either.
May just go down the OEM 313 route....

Cheers

What were the wheels?

b16jsy · 10-21-2016, 11:14 AM

I was looking at a used set of M359 style wheels....

Digitalize · 10-21-2016, 12:53 PM

Real ones? ******** sell AG replicas that have the same face profile but are a bit easier size/offset, thread I think in the classifieds. They're 9/10s.

b16jsy · 10-24-2016, 07:44 AM

No they were replicas, it was the fitment issue that concerned me though.
Yes the ones from CM look excellent to be fair...

They're very wide for replicas, didn't think they went wider than 9/10 of the genuine ones.
