Will these wheels fit?!

Hello all,

I have a pre LCI e91!

Will an 8.5j et20 fit the front?!
Will an 9.5j et25 fit the rear?!

With usual 19" tyre size, 265.30.19 and 225.35.19

Thank you

Have you used the guide on the forum? I've just checked and they'll be 13mm closer to the strut and they'll be 13mm less clearance on the outside. It's not really the answer you're looking for. Maybe someone else can help more.

Thanks for that, yeah I used the calculator but unsure if they will physically fit!

Anyone?!

Rear may fit. forget the front. No chance.
People usually fit the front ET35. For aggressive look they add 10 mm spacer at the front which makes it ET25. Another 5 mm further out means, they may rub.

Yeah I had a feeling they would be close!

I am not yet used to what fits the e9x as previously I had 18x9.5 et10 fronts and 18x10 et 15 and still had space ha!

They would certainly look aggressive !

Thanks Sam

Im running
19 8.5j with 235 35 and a 10mm spacer
19 9.5j with 265 30 and a 7mm spacer.

These are the max spacers i can run. Thing is when you start getting close to the tolerances tyre brand becomes an issue as some are more beefy than others and could determine wether a set up will rub or not

I do like them in gold / bronze , want them on my wagon badly

Not sure if the front would be little bit aggressive, wonder if it would get away with the 225 tyres. What wheels are you thinking of getting?

Snap :



these were Gramlight 57s Pro Front 18x9 offset +5 Rear 18x10 offset +15 on my old 200SX S14a.

I'm having the same problem now trying to figure out what size wheels will fit on my E90 335i 4 door msport.

Am looking at 19 x 9.5 with ET20 for the rear does anyone know if these would fit ?

anything can fit with some work haha...

rear may rub, you might need a fender roll... i'm running 9.5 et25 on the rear with a 255/30 and i think there's enough space for a 265/30... but tyre sizes differ among brands... also i've got an e93...

front will be difficult... you could remove the alignment pins, get the camber to -1.5 degrees and get it to fit... (im running 8.5 et28 with 225/35 and there's plenty of room lol, i wanna fit 9J et25 like this (which is equivalent to 8.5J et 19 from the outside))

and i think e91 fenders can be rolled as well so even more room to play with! e92/3 have plastic fenders

good luck!

no problem i love wheels being as aggressive as possible... knowing the wheels can just be bolted on is boring!

also i just remembered tony's e91 with crazy specs:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=839498&page=2

he was running spacers as well to make it F19x9 ET10, R19x11 ET25... he was running some heavy stretch though...
