I just ordered a new set of wheels for my e92....

Specs:

Front: 19x9.5 et20
Rear: 19x11 et25

I currently have 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 on my current wheels. I know that the 265s will fit the rear no problem, but I'm just not sure about the front?

I've done some research on e90post and I saw that it is better to use a 225/35 for the front on the new wheels I'm getting.

Anyone can confirm?
 
I'm not sure how you did your research but 265 in the rear will not fit witout very aggressive rolling and camber
My car is an xi so even tough its lowered it sits about the same height as sport suspension , I run 265 tires on 18x9 ET22 wheels and I had to roll because I was rubbing on bumps
your wheels with stick ou 1 inch more

For the fronts you will have to run aggressive camber also (E92 fenders are plastic so you cannot roll)

for it to work 215/35 and 245/35 would be a better choice

I forgot to note that my fenders are mildly rolled. This guy is trying to fit a 19x10.5" et25 in the rear of his e92 with 265's. If you check the thread, people are saying he can fit the 265s. Although 19x11 et25 is wider, the stretch with the 265 should give me more clearance to prevent the rubbing.

I've asked the vendor that sold me the rims and double checked with another vendor, they said 265/30 in the rear on stock sport suspension should be fine with rolled fenders. The front on the other hand, they recommend 225/35 but 235/35 can be done if I adjust the camber.

Here's another thread that convinced me that 265's/235's may work:

BTW how do you adjust the stock camber?

That's a really agressive setup, like jackb said you're gonna need to pull the shit out of the fenders and even then.
Pre-LCI E90's are known to accept more agressive setups and offsets than E92's and I was running 19x10 et23 in the rear and it was pretty flush and I rolled my fenders.

I'm no E92 expert, but pretty sure extreme amounts of camber and fender work will be needed. Don't they have an ''agressive fitment'' thread on E90post?

You're asking for good advice and we're giving it to you you do what you want
Again you need 255 to make it work and lots of camber
265 is not streched enough


here a pic of 265/35/18 on 18X12" wheels

As for it looking sick , well we all have different tastes
I like flush I hate poke, but that's just me

Most of the post in these link you guys are posting are people saying it will fit with no proof
I'm not saying it wont fit but be prepared for a lot of rubbing and crazy camber and if your car is an LCI well good luck

this car has a 265 tire on 11" wheel ,
its a pre-lci sedan and its not lowered so it has much more room then your E92 and you can see there is not much room

Unless this car has a taillight conversion, it's an LCI.

To OP, I have 18x9.5 et23 rear on my e90 (pre LCI) and 265 rubs, however 255 doesn't. I'm on sport package though, no drop.

From what I've gathered the coupe has a bit less room than sedans on top of that, so you won't be able to pull off 19x11 et25 without major fender and suspension work (camber, pulled and rolled fenders etc.)

I realize this thread is old, have you fitted the wheels yet?
