hi all, i am looking to at some alloys and want to find out if the following would be a decent fit for my car:

Also note that I have lowered the car 35 mm at the front and 25 mm on the rear.

Front: 19 x 8.5 et35 with 235/35/19
Rear: 19 x 10 et 33 with 265/30/19

your input is much appreciated

The front i know for definite will fit as thats what im running now with a 5mm spacer. The rear im not sure of as mine are 9.5 with et35. Y not use the tire calculator on here?

I've just fitted 19" x 9" et35 front and 19" x 10" et38 rear.

So fronts will fit for sure, but the rears....not sure, et33 might put a 10" rear rim a bit near the strut.

[AnthonyR]

thanks for that guys, so I guess et38 is ok for the rear with 19 x 10?

[Russbmw]

That's what I have. Not had anyone/weight in the back, but looks like it should be ok. It'd doesn't rub when cornering hard.

Mine's also not lowered that much from standard M-sport suspension.

[AnthonyR]

ok cheers, perhaps 8.5 all around with 235/35s or 9.5 at the back with 265/30 is the better options?

[Russbmw]

Personally, I'd give the shop you are looking to buy them from a call.

Or failing that, give Mark @ BMautosport a call, as he knows his stuff regarding what will fit and what won't (although it'd a tad cheeky if you're not buying from him, so be polite about it!)

[AnthonyR]

lol ok russ, i will do that

hey ant! try to avoid 8.5s al round you will be better off with a staggered set up for sure!

im running a 9.5rear ET 22 with a 5mm spacer and i cant go anymore than that! im maxed out unless its cambered in more!

i would have thought the 10ET33 would be a snug fit? with a little stretch!

it just depends if you want to go the stretch route a little or not too...

8.5J & 9.5J with 235/265 is perfect as thats what i run for my winters! they will fit no problems and tyres are perfect sizes for that set up too!

if you wanted a stretch look (very minor stretch) then you could do a 225/255 set up or a little less...

[AnthonyR]

hey sumil, thanks for the info. I also have spacers currently, 15mm at the front and 20mm on the rears. but thats with my current wheels. i will see what i can get

[AnthonyR]

would this: Rear: 19 x 10 et 33 with 265/30/19 with rear spacer of either 15mm or 20mm work?

[P 5UML]

i think it would sit nicely without the spacers mate, and if you need a spacer i dont think it would be either a 15mm or 20mm, youd be more looking at 10mm or under!

you wont know properly until they are fitted on dude

if you wanted to poke it more with spacers etc you may have to stretch the tyres so they dont hit the arch!

[AnthonyR]

yea true, i had a chat with the sales guy, really hepful and recommended the et of 33 at the back. he sent me a few pics of the wheels on an e90

[P 5UML]

go on...give us a sneak peak of what your thinkin

[AnthonyR]

well iv gone for the concave look rather than the deep dish

[afalton]
