E90 330i (2005)
I'm thinking of upgrading it to 19" rims, wondering what offset should I go for?

Front: 19" 8.5j ET32
Rear: 19" 9.5j ET30 (throw in 5mm spacer in case of more aggressive looking)

Front tire: 235/35/r19
Rear tire: 265/30/r19

tires: S001 vs RE-11 vs AD08 ......RE-11 wins


Thanks so much for your help bros!!!

I got Front 19" 8.5J ET36, Rear 19" 9.5J ET37 using RE11 F:235/35r19, R:255/35r19.
The rear tyre size is not what I wanted, but the shop said RE11 doesnt come with 265/30r19 in HK. Love the RE11 tyres, but they are a bit noisy.

From your tire choice i'll go for RE11 ^^

I am selling a 18'' G2 set 99% new and weighted 17.8kg only with RE11 225 255 18. Please email for detail. Thanks.

ny911, thanks for your offer but the problem is that my current rims and tires are 18" 225/255 already.....that's why I'm looking for 19" upgrade for KILLER's LOOKING, haha

Can't be wrong with 19" especially you're die hard fan of sexy lips (Like me) consisted 2 or 3 pieces Forged made rims and whilst, you can take a look mine below since lips will make the wheels visual appearance smaller than one piece but big lip is just coping with the current VIP Trend of physical look though....Nonetheless, I'll recommend you to go for a set of 19" Made by Forged, not Mold by Forged......(lots of Jap wheels cheated their customers using the words Mold)...thus, your rims can be having identical weight or even lesser than your 18" if you are still using heavy alloy rims for your ride!! Have fun, Bro.......Be prepare the ride quality will be affected and the road sensitiveness is tons more than the set of 18"!!

In terms of off-set, it is kind of varies albeit, you have customs made wheels like mine with 2 inches lip for the front and 4.5 inches lips for the rear.....since the lip sizes are different, it will trigger the offset changing to complete different setting which cannot be depending on the bible no more....

for the tire size. Most people run 235/35/19 for the front and 265/30/19 at the back, but you need 8.5J F and 9.5J R ! Also check with the offset, you can run ET 25 (M3 offset) at the back for the killer look! Do some search on the wheel forum and you will know what I'm saying!

I'm running with 10.5J for the rear which fitting the tire size of 265/30/19....However, ET25 on the rear will be causing serious rubbing issue which around 1 inch out from the rear fender which is definitely too much due to E90 M3 is running with wide-fenders, front and rear....the front is around 1.5 inches more. the rear is around 2.5 inches more than our Non-M3 E9X vehicles....

As you said, running 10.5j with et25 will cause rubbing! You can only run et25 with 9.5J on non-LCI E90 (E90 have wider rear fender than E92).

BTW, your E92 look great! one of a kind~~~!

thanks for info bros!
so I updated the data,
E90 330i (2005)
Front: 19" 8.5j ET???
Rear: 19" 9.5j ET???

Front tire: 235/35/r19
Rear tire: 265/30/r19

the reason why I need to know the ET value is because I'm purchasing the rims and tires separately, so I must be really really careful....lol

the rims don't have to be flush to the fender 'cos I don't want any rubbing at all, so I don't mind the rims surface a bit stucking inside the fender to avoid any rubbing, this is the most important thing.

the rims I'm looking right now are either BBS LM or SSR LM-9

[ah gon]

i'm running 19"x8.5" et-30 with 235 35 falken 452 for front.and 19"x10" et-22 with 265 30 tires.(with fender roll)....with no rubbing issue.
and in your case i think the perfect offset r: front 8.5" et32,rear 9.5" et25.
but if i were u,i'll do the rear fender rolled to mount m-fitment 9.5" et22 or 10" et25.


btw,if get the LM.i really suggest 10" et25 for rear.with fender roll of course.

If you are seriously worry about rubbing, you can go for et32 front and rear. but I will go et25 for the perfect offset ! BBS LM will look better, LM-9 is just another copy of BBS LM...

Thanks for yr kind words.....rubbing issue may not be accepted by some drivers and I was having my fender rolled like hell + adjust the camber more out (+1.80), to avoid the rubbing occurence for a set of aggressive looking wheels with the tires around 2mm out of the fenders!!

I know 2 people running et25, both no fender rolling needed!

Avoiding using Japanese tyres if you have aggressive offset/width to lower the chance of rubbing the fenders.
