OEM 359M 9J Square-setup on E90/E91?

braziers · 02-21-2024, 08:55 AM

Is anyone running, or has run, the above square-setup (OEM 359M wheels, 19x9J +31 front and rear) on an E90 or E91?

Thinking of going down this route for my E91, rather than trying to squeeze the staggered setup (with the 10J rear) on the car and having to do arch mods or rolling to make it work.

Was thinking the square-setup in 9J could work, with either a 225/35 or 235/35 up front, and a 255/30 or 265/30 in the rear.

why would you go staggered tyres on square rims? i know that it is possible but why would you?

With some negative camber, 245 or 255 shouldn't be a problem up front. That offset is perfect for a little front camber.

Maximise tyre width on the rear, while keeping the front tyres in check without rubbing up front.

10 years ago I would have been all over this

, but I'm not sure about the coilover and stretched route these days.

225 on a 9j is within ETRTO limits, but 255 on a 10j is not, so I wouldn't want to go down the stretched out of spec route.

Having said that, it does look damn good.
