Hey guys, I recently just purchased 19" vmr with the offsets of

F-8.5" wide +35 offset
R-9.5" wide +22 offset as stated by seller at the time.

I was just wondering as to what you guys would recommend what tires would fit with my e92.

Fairly new to tires so ANY input would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

As far as tire sizing goes, we recommend 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. The rear is more aggressive than we recommend though, so you may need to roll the rears, depending on the tire make/model.

Thanks for the advice! Definitely helps my search of tires!

what offsets do you recommend with 19s 8.5f and 9.5r with those tires? v710 rims. stock height no spacer. could I possibly add spacers too without rubbing?

i was looking at possibly going with hankooks, since i hear they're pretty good. now that i know what specs i'm looking for, i'll definitely have an idea what i can do. hopefully i can find ones that don't rub

Hankooks (Conti DW's, Michelin's, Falken, and even Toyo) have rounder shoulders than some other brands. The round shoulder might be more prone to rub than some other brands.

It only matters if its gonna be a close call, though.

On my E92 I have the style 230 wheels, with 265/30/19(rear) and 235/35/19(front) Hankook Ventus V12 tires. The edge of the tire is flush with the rim, as opposed to the smaller OEM tires which had a somewhat beveled look to them. As such, I can't have spacers, as the slight difference in tire angle is enough to cause rubbing with 10mm spacers. Hope this helps.

We recommend 19x8.5 ET35/19x9.5 ET45 on an E90 LCI. If you wanted to push them out further, I would suggest measuring the gap and going from there. That's really your best bet.

Thank you very much. I have 2mm left to wear bar and after that I'm getting vmr v710s with none rfts.


would it be possible to go more aggressive on the rear offset? 33 maybe?

I want a concaved look without rubbing and etc.

You'll be fine with ET 33 rear with a 9.5" wheel. Absolutely.

A 10" wide you'll wanna go ET38.

No offense to the above post, but buying ET45 rear wheels will look pitiful. You'll be buying 12.5mm spacers (1/2") straight away.

thanks.
I thought et 45 seemed too much on the safe side.

what would you recommend or what set up do you have? f et 35 and r et 33? I'm assuming anything 20 or 22 would rub..

We don't recommend going with sizing like that on the rear, but we have had customers run ET33 before. I can't guarantee that lower offset rears would be completely rub free in all driving situations, especially if you decide to lower the car at a later time. Fender rolling may be required, depending on the tire brand/model.
