E90 Pre-LCI wants to do 9.5 fronts and 10 rear, need help

Hey guys.

I'm thinking about buying 19 inch VMR VB3's or V710s for my 07' e90 335i.
I'm currently riding stock suspension and don't have plans to do coils for some time, and my fenders are not rolled.

I am thinking about doing 9.5 fronts and 10 rear for that concavity. Would this work?

The tires i'll be getting are Pilot Sports: I was thinking 235 9.5 et 33 front and 265 10 et 38 rear. Will I have any problems with this setup?

And one last question: VB3 or V710 with these wheel sizes?

Thanks!

VB3 if its for the 10" rear, v710 if you want 11" sickness

those offsets will work at stock height, but will look 4x4 without a drop and rolled fenders.

Is it expensive to roll fenders?
And what lowering springs would you suggest?

Would 235 for front 9.5 be too much of a stretch and compromise safety?

Fender rolling will vary depending on the shop. I would give a few shops a call or get some recommendations for locals in your area.

Good place to start for lowering springs would be Tirerack.com or any of the site sponsors here. H&R and Eibach are popular choices.

235's on 9.5" wheels can work without a problem as long as the tire pressures are kept up to spec. We have mounted this same setup on a our own shop car and it worked perfectly fine.

This is the set up I am thinking about. But I am buying coilovers first. I think that is more important than buying wheels. Stance of the car will make or break the look.

If you get the VB3s, go with the 19x10 ET25 out back- trust.

You sure about that rear offset? I was going to do et 20 on a 9.5, is that about the same fitment?

Can I fit a 245 in the front on a 9.5? Rolling fender needed on stock sport suspension?

10 +25 and 9.5 +22 is almost about the same. The 10's are about 3mm more aggressive. Both fitments are not recommended since they do require fender work. If you are open to modifications, this shouldn't be an issue then.

9.5 +33 fronts can work but only on a 235 tire. 245's may cause rubbing during compression or cornering.
