e92 offsets/tire sizes? Please help!

ylincooper · 08-04-2009, 10:53 PM

Im looking to get VMR V710's for my e92.

Trying to figure out which offsets to get to make the wheels flush with the fenders.

Wheels are going to be 19" 8.5 front and 19" 9.5 rear.

Also wondering what tire sizes to get. 225/35/19 front... 265/30/19 rear... will those fit?

Any help would be GREAT!!!

The best offsets to go with would be just the standard staggered package for your car. Offsets are ET35 fronts and ET33 rears 8.5"/9.5".

You can go with 225 up front but it'll be just a tad stretched. You can go with 235 to make the tire not as stretched across the wheel.

Feel free to PM me with any questions

I just ordered the same wheels, e92 w/ stock offset - still figuring out tires.
Some places say 265/30/19s and some recommend 275/30/19s (Discount Tire +1 sizing). But i've read a few posts saying those will rub, but I'm not sure i believe that, they are very close in overall specs, and with stock suspension, seems like a lot of room.

Any help about the 275's?

You can run the 275's if you go with a tire with a rounded sidewall like the Michelin PS2. Those tires are very easy to run aggressive sizes and not have severe rubbing issues (within reason).

If you don't go with Michelin and you want 275's I would do a good fender massage to push it out a bit more so you don't have rubbing issues.

Another good tire to look into are the Falken FK452's or Toyo T1R's that offer rounded sidewalls.
