For Lci or Pre-lci e90? The rear track is different between those. You probably already know that the setup will require work and adjustments. As for offset if it is pre-lci then like et25-20 front and et30-25 to rear would probably be pretty nice. I can only give some examples:

This is more of member #Tee expertise and others who have aggressive setups. But i look forward to see them on the car.

Sounds about right. If i compare that 18x10 et22 to my 18x9.5 et22 front it would extend 6mm more and have 6mm less room at inside. I'm also running BC coils and have about 10mm clearance to inside. So your 6mm less should fit.

Rear i'm running 18x10.5 et15 and your 18x11.5 et25 would extend 3mm more.

Here is some crappy pictures

Here are some more examples. Most of these have 18x10 front and some you already have seen. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...93&postcount=2

225/40/18 front tyre. Around -1 degree camber. Nothing else.

255/35/18 rear tyre. Fenders rolled to the max. Anymore and it would mess the bumper fender seam. -3 degrees negative camber. Pieces of inner fender cut out. Still rubs little bit when cornering hard. I will cut out the metal piece from bumper/fender bracket and possibly shave some inside fender edge out. So it wouldn't rub anymore.
