Help wheel and tire fitment !

Hello Bimmers !

Have some questions about the wheels and tires.

I'm looking for new wheels for my car (09 E90 xDrive sedan).

Anyone has experience about the 19x10.55 +22 5x120 72.56

* Lip Size 10.5 Width = 3 inches

If i buy that size of wheels for rear, does having any issues? Ex) Fender, Rubbing, Poke and so forth.

And what size tires should i buy it for that size wheels?

Note: KW coilover

Thank you !

Hi there,

A 19x10.5" ET22 is a VERY aggressive wheel that would require significant rear fender modifications to fit on the back of a non-M E90, let alone in the front as a square configuration. To fit that wheel both front and rear, you would need aftermarket fender flares or a wide body kit to support a setup that wide.

If you are looking for a direct fit square setup that will provide a flush fitment on your LCI E90, I would recommend running the following wheel and tire sizes:

Front & Rear: 19x9" ET28 or ET30 with 245/35-19 tires
Direct fit
Available in ARC-8 (ET28) and SM-10 (ET30) designs.
5mm front spacers may be required with certain aftermarket suspensions, see below.

If you would like to check out some of our known E9X non-M setups, you can view our chassis specific fitment guide here: https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide

If you have any additional questions, please let me know!

If you want to hate driving your car on any road that is not smooth as glass, go for 19” wheels, if you want to enjoy it, do not go over 18”.
