What offset should i run for a staggered set-up on my e92 335i??

I was told

19 x 8.5 ET35 offset (front)
19 x 9.5 ET45 offset (rear)

OR should i run

19 x 8.5 ET35 offset (front)
19 x 9.5 ET33 offset (rear)

thanks

who "told" you. I would listen to the wheel guy that you're ordering the wheels from. you can always add spacers to get the desired look but shaving the wheel to make it fit is PITA.

If you are thinking of getting 235/265 tire combo, then ET35 (front) and ET33 (rear) would be the best offset for an e92. That will give you a decently flush look without having to worry about either spacers or fender rolling. If you get ET45 for the rear wheels and your car is dropped you will probably have to get spacers so that the wheels don't rub with the struts. Safest thing to do is to get ET35 and 33 and call it a day

Carlos just took right out of my mouth!

8.5 +35 235 and 9.5 +33 with 265 is a problem free fitment!

would that set up fit an E90 LCI lowered on HR sport?? Let me know...I'm in the market desperately...

Thanks!!

In general, the 235/ET35 365/ET33 tire/offset combo works fine for both e90 and e92 on stock suspension. As I have discovered first hand (with FK coilovers), when you lowered the car there could be a slight chance that you might need spacers to provide enough clearance to the front perches. I'm not sure how wide the HR springs are....worst case you might need a 3-5mm spacer. Maybe someone with HR springs can chime in and give you better feedback.

The 9.5 +33's and 265's are a bit too aggressive for the LCI models because of the widened track. If you wanted to stick with the aggressive setup and do some fender rolling, you should be fine.

For a direct bolt-on fitment, the +45's might be a better route to take. You can always have extra room to adjust accordingly with your desired spacer.

If you're willing to get to work on those fenders to make it fit, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Rubbing over larger bumps possibly, but you won't know til somebody tries it!
