Quick question i just bought new rims but stupid me i was excited and didn't check to see if they actually fit, i asked the person who i ordered it from and he said they would...


SIZE :19 X 8.5 FRONT, 19 X 9.5 REAR
OFFSET : et15 mm front, et22 mm rear
RUBBER : 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear

any input would be greatly appreciated i've seen others using the same size rims, but i dont know how offset works exactly and mine are a little different

You may have some rubbing issues with those offsets (definitley with the front) and spacers will only make it worse. I recommend you conduct a search in this forum for the offsets others are using on their wheels with similiar widths.

edit: do you mean rubber as against the fenders?

hmmmm i'm certain that the guy said they would fit on my e90 and i wrote them emails specifically saying e90, and the guy on the phone said they would fit... lets hope they're not screwing me over!

i noticed everyone else on the forums had +35mm offset

Dude, you got the wrong offset. Your wheels will stick out a lot. The rear may work, but still rub the fender over the bump...the font is out of question.

Eventhough lower offset give you a bigger lip, they will also stick out/come closer to the fenders. The 35mm will have a smaller lip, but at least you'll be able to drive your car.

Pass on the wheels if you can. They are intended to fit larger BMWs, i.e. 5Series, 7 Series, etc.

nevermind i just confirmed...

FRONT : +38mm
REAR : +25mm

edit: and i know i'm pretty sure the 25mm wont rub since most people on this forum have +35 with a 10mm spacer... which would make the offset +25mm...

thanks for the info guys, once i get the rims on i'll take pictures and post them up

265/30 tire won't rub, 275/30 may be.
