Wheely appreciate your fitment advice...

Sorry for the bad title but I couldn't help myself.

I'm looking at a set of 19x9.5 wheels on my E92 running stock M Sport suspension.
Front offset: 37
Rear offset: 22

If I went down this path I would run either a square set up on tyres such as 255/35s or a 255/35 F and 275/30 R.

Do you foresee any issues such as rubbing, fitment etc?

Thanks...

What DrJ said 255 up front will be a bit much.

Most peeps run 235/35 F and 265/30 R and roll the rear guards to stop rubbing. Especially with the slightly lower M sport suspension

That's going to have more poke in the back than the front. Also front wheels will be insanely close to the struts.

With that width and offset on the front, I recommend you try a dry fitup first.
Pretty sure the rim will bind on the front strut.
I tried my 19" X 9" 313 rear rims on my front and there was just the thickness of 2 credit cards between the rim and the front strut.
And you're hoping to fit 9.5" width???

If you have coilovers with smaller dia springs than oem this is no issue (ala BC coilovers)

255 was the recommended size for the 9.5s up front. I don't want tyre stretch.

I'm currently running 235s up front on style 313s.

Yep, that was my concern and I don't want to run spacers. IIRC, there are some issues with spacers and insurance, not to mention some have said they have experienced balance issues even with known brands. I have no experience first hand with spacers though.

I would do but these are out of state and a very compelling price atm.

Had BCs on the E90 and I don't recall exactly but I think I was running 19x9 F and 19x10 R. The BCs were excellent, not rubbing, no rolled guards.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Maybe the set up is far too aggressive for me. It would certainly fill up the guards and give it a very purposeful look.
