Hey guys, just bought some wheels, this is my first time putting wheels on my e92 so want to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Specs below

2007 E92 Coupe

Wheels:
VMR VB3 19x8.5 ET40
VMR VB3 19x9.5 ET45

I am on stock suspension and plan on staying on this for the time being.
I was planning on purchasing tires, my research has led me to:

235/35/19 in the front
265/30/19 in the rear

what do you guys think for the fitment with those offsets and those tire sizes? Not looking to modify the fenders/roll/pull or anything. It looks like 40/45 is a pretty weak offset for our cars.

Will I need spacers to make them fit and are those the correct size tires for a nice setup?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

stock size in the rear for sport package is 18x8.5 with 37 offset.

going to a 9.5 with 45 offset will give you 21mm less on the inside towards the strut, and 5mm more towards the fender. I think you'd definitely need spacers for the rears and the fronts would possibly rub as well.

Do a 10mm spacer front and rear. You can up the rear to 275/30-19. Then you have my favorite offset and wheel tire combo. No rubbing etc. 19x8.5 et 30 with 235/35-19 and 19x9.5 et35 with 275/30-19. Perfect looks, grip, and fit.

And make sure you have the correct hub and bolt pattern too. 5x120 and 72.6mm.
