Hi, I have a 2011 E90 335d and I have been advised that the setup I should go with is 19 by 8.5 ET 35 to 40 front and 19 by 9.5 ET 40 to 45 and this is if I do not rub or fender roll.
Can someone that has a lci advise of they\'re setup some pics of how flush the wheels would be nice.
Thank you

I have advans in 19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5 et 32 front and et 35 rear w 235/35/19 up front and 265/30/19 rear. I have no rubbing whatsoever and im dumped on coilovers. You might get away with 5mm more but after that it would rub unless you have some negative camber.
This is on an 09 lci.

I have style 230 wheels with these specs:
19x8 ET34
19x9 ET37
My tire sizes are 225/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear, no rubbing and no rolling. I'm still on the stock sport suspension, so perhaps that helps:

I'm running on Alufelgen SF-71 19" Gunmetal ET35(F/R) 19x8.5 + 19x9.5
Hankook Ventus V12 235/35/19 + 265/30/19

No rubbing on stock suspension. I dont see an issue with lowering it either

Anyone running the AG m359?

Here is how my car looks with 18x8.5ET40 front, 18x9.5ET45 rear. I would LOVE to see that 9.5ET35 fits in the rear because there are many more options with this offset, but I don't think so. Maybe 9.5ET40, but not more.

I have 18x9.5 ET33 in the rear of my E90 LCI and it works fine.

We recommend a 19x8.5 ET35 front and 19x9.5 ET45 rear, however I have seen more aggressive setups before. If you're looking to avoid any chance of rubbing or the possibility that you may need to roll your rear quarter panels, I would advise the higher offset in the rear.

Here's about how flush the rears would be.

what brand of tire? I just ordered the M359's and still deciding on tires, have some rubbing concerns based on some other threads and vendor recommendations. Have '09 E90 LCI.

[asian010]

u want the most aggressive set up but you posted wheel specs that i wouldnt even consider close to aggressive. im going to be running 19x8.5 et32 19x10 et25 on my lci soon. with roll/pulled fenders of course. right now im 19x8.5 et30 19x10 et 37 with a really fat square tire. if i had the falkens or toyos im pretty sure i can run et33. dropped on pss9 on a high setting.

[AMG_KLR]

not to revive a dead thread, however i too have an LCI and im wondering the same thing.

YES I know the recommended sizes, however what is the most aggressive that i can run without rubbing. I have a set of D2 coilovers and I wanna remove any wheel gap and sit flush, but dont want to rub (obviously)

Im shopping for wheels on the forums and i see like et23/et28 etc

Will these fit? roll fenders?

Can anyone chime in?

I would rather not have camber fyi.

I'm pre-lci on 19x9.5 +20F 19x11 +25 with rolled fenders and it's flush with no rubbing unless I hit a HUGE dip.

Great looking car man!

Im loving the flush fitment, thats the same exact look that i'm going for.

However i've been told that the LCI models have an 8mm wider track thats doesnt allow for as aggressive wheels.

Now I understand that wheel manufacturers are going to suggest the least aggressive fitments to customers due to liability reasons, but I want to run the most aggressive/flush fitment for my 2010 LCI E90.

I saw some pictures of as guy with some et 30 all around with no rubbing issues (he had et 35 with 5mm spacers) and it was pretty damn flush; is this the max for the LCI without fender rolling?

If I can find someone to roll my fenders, I'm going to pull the trigger so I can add more aggressive wheels.

NOW with that being said, I roll my fenders and now what's the widest wheel/tire combination I can have without rubbing?

I have a set of D2 racing coilovers if that adds anything to this.

I'm asking because i'm wheel shopping and don't want a conservative look or the wheels to be sunken into the car, i can't stand that look, but i don't want the wheels poking out and every bump the fender is chomping away at my tires (been there done that never again)
