They'll fit. Personally I don't like those widths for a e93 assuming the fenders are the same as a e92. Depends on your style though. A 9" front is too wide IMO unless you're going for a stretched tire look. a 235 will be stretched, a 245 looks good but is extremely tight and will rub in some spots but lightly. I'd rather use a 8.5" wheel with a 235 tire.

For the rear that wheel is actually perfect or near perfect to run a 285. Not many people run that wide of a tire on these cars but I have a 19x10 et38 and I've seen another guy run a 285 on the same wheel with just a slight roll. I always thought a 19x10 et40 would be perfect for a 285. Maybe et42 would work out. If not then just get a 275 and you might need a slight roll. I did.

There's a reason the most common staggered set of wheels for these cars come in 8.5/9.5 widths. They just plain fit and the right tires looks great on them. originally when I got my car there was 235/265 tires on it and it looked good but the stretched tire look just isnt for me. I much prefer the look now with 245/275. But like I said the front is dang tight and I'd rather be able to run a 235 without it being stretched.

Just depends what you want and how low you are or want to be. 235/265 on those wheels wont need any rolling and you could be really low. The sidewall since they'll be stretched is really thin.

Well I have similar wheels and was in the same boat so I understand. Plus my brothers car a 2012 e92 has 19x8.5/9.5 wheels so I did homework for him too.

Why put 9" on front and 10" on the back? There seems to be a contest on how far people can push the setup when 8.5" and 9" works quite well and it's not like the E93 doesn't carry an extra 400 pounds because of the hardtop.

because they fit perfectly and wider rims provide better support for tires while increasing stability, accelaration and braking
