Vorsteiner V-FF 101

Vorsteiner doesn't officially support an e92 non-M fitment in these wheels, but I think 19x8.5 ET30 front and 19x9.5 ET22 rear should just fit, running on standard staggered tire sizes 225/35R19, 255/30R19.

I'm looking for an aggressive fit that won't require rolling the fenders, and will work with a mild lowering spring (Swift Spec-R), about 3/4" front/rear.

Apex says their 19x8.5 ET 35, 19x9.5 ET22 will fit this car, so I'm just wondering if an ET30 would fit the front, as long as it's safe to assume the Apex fitments will apply to the Vorsteiner wheels.

Also, if anyone has an opinion on quality - the feedback I've seen is that most people like Apex and have good experiences, and I'm leaning toward those wheels in any case because of their cost and reputation. However, the V-FF 101 are pure sex and might be worth the extra investment.

Thoughts?

It'll fit with those size tires (stretched).

Do you think 235/35-19 would fit up front with ET30 without rolling? I'm pretty sure I could fit 265/30-19 ET22 in the rear if I rolled a bit, per Apex.

I never really had an issue with the 225/255 tires though, and since I have a 328, I don't really have the power to lose, so I was thinking of just sticking with the smaller stock tire sizes and being done with it.

These photos will give you some idea . . .

The first photo is my previous set up with 19x9 et35 and 19x10 et38 with 7mm spacers on the front (final et28) with 235/35 and 12mm spacer on the rear (final et26) with 275/30 (only mod is shaved rear fender lips) . . . lowered and no rub. If you ran 265/30 rears, you may get away from any rubbing with unmodified fender lips. It depends on tire profile, which varies.

The second photo is my current set up with 19x9.5 et33 and 19x10.5 et35 with 3mm spacers on the front (final et30) 235/35 and 5mm spacers on the rear (final et30) with 275/30, again no rub. Flushed and certainly no poke.
