best rim and tyre combo for E92

Furf · 01-29-2012, 04:18 AM

I currently have a 325i coupe in Sparkling Graphite with 189 rims. I'm looking to change to 19 inch rims. Initially I was looking at the 230 rims but now i'm not sure if I should go for something along the lines of the CSL/competition rims. With the CSL style rims, I've found either the traditional 8 spoke or the 7 spoke rims (similar to http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=631705) tho not sure if I should go for silver or black.

So far i'm tending towards the 7 spoke rims in silver. What do you guys think???
Would be greatly appreciated if someone could post pics (or photoshop rims) of an E92 (preferrably graphite or grey/black) with these 19 inch rims on or any other design and colour

Additionally, what width rim and offset would you guys recommend, and what size tyre combo?? Was also looking at lowering the car, how much should I lower it from the standard set up??

regards

*apologies in advance to anyone who I may have taken pics from and if this is a repost. with over 600 pages of threads just on rims I gave up after looking through the first 30 or so pages

Just get Avant Garde 310 or VMR 710.

19x8.5 et35 19x9.5 et33
235/35/19, 265/30/19

That's standard fitment for coupes, very safe.

What about 275/30 on the back? For a while it seemed like a lot of the forum posts were saying 275 on the 9.5 rear. ???

275 will fit fine, but spacers become unusable. 255/265 are good if you want to flush it out.

275's will rub on VMR wheels over bumps..trust me it becomes very annoying!
