So im purchasing Avant Garde m359 wheels for my 2007 e90 335xi. Which includes the sport package. My stock wheel dimensions for the front is 18X8 ET 34 225/40/18 and rear 18X8.5 ET 37 255/35/18. The new wheels I am buying for the front is 19X9 245/35/19 ET 35 and rear 19X10 275/30/19 ET 38. Will these fit? there is two options for wheel offset from the supplier the front has 35 and 18 ( I chose 35) and the rear having 25 and 38 ( I chose 38)


...so long story short will my new dimensions of 19X9 245/35/19 ET 35 and 19X10 275/30/19 ET 38 fit my car?

The 18 in front and the 25 in back wouldn't work right? First time fitting aftermarket wheels on a car and am a bit lost with the process

I wouldn't go with those tyre sizes. They are wrong for Xi. Little too much diameter difference between front and rear. You have Xi, so diameter difference is recommended to be under 1%. Those tyres have 1.004% difference. Change the front to 235/35/19. Then you have 0.07% which is a lot better.

Also 19x9 et18 will work at front. As well as 19x10 ET25 at rear, but needs different tyre size and rear fender roll. Atleast if you ever lower it. It would work with 225/35/19 and 265/30/19.

No problem at all. Yes those will work after you lower your car. Rear shouldn't rub, but it is still close call. It might depend on the tyre manufacturer.

The sizes he was originally planning on using were close enough that they wouldn't affect the all wheel drive, but 235/275 are a better match so good point.

Hey, I have a really good deal on the bridestone RE-11 tires 235 and 275 for the rims. I know the Bridestones RE-11 do run a bit wide will they still be alright for the tire diameter? Plus I know the 235 are a bit small for the 19X9 so hopefully if they do run wide it should help with the stretch?
