Anyone know if:

19x9.5 Front- 35offset
19x9.5 Rear 35 offset


would fit my pre lci e90 sedan?

im currently lowered on kw v1 coilovers about 1 inch.

Im looking to purchase some TE37SL in 19'' and this is the only size they have left as these wheels are discontinued for bmw.

I don't know about lowered but the 9.5 will be aggressive at the front.
The rear is fine. I have 19x9 ET35 on my pre-LCI sedan and that is almost flush with the fender. Another ¼" on the front and back of the wheel might be pushing it. Also a 235/35 is not wide enough for that wheel.
I run a 245/35 up front my 19x9.

This would be doable, but requires at least 5mm front spacer, because inner clearance. You could go even thicker spacer like 10-12mm depends what kinda look you want. Front tyre either 235/35/19 or 225/35/19. Unless you want to add a lot of negative camber to front to fit wider tyre, which means you need camber plates.

Rear would be just plug and play, but in my opinion you need like 15mm rear spacer too, so it looks more even with the front. Of course it would mean that you need fender roll to rear. Depends also about what size tyres you will use at rear. Best pair for 235/35/19 front would be either 265/30/19 or 235/35/19.

I would say that front with 5mm spacer and rear with 15mm spacer with like 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 tyre combo would make nice even looking setup.

This e90 has 18x9.5 et30 and 18x9.5 et22 and by looking tyres i think it's 235/265 combo http://varrstoen.com/narcissism/varrstoen-es2-bmw-335i/

This would be close the look you would get with those 5 and 15mm spacers. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...89&postcount=3 I know it has 19x10 et25 rear, but 9.5 et35+ 15mm spacer would retract 1mm compared to the 19x10 et25.

Just so you know 235/35/19 is approved size for 9.5. Of course it's slightly stretched. Also some manufacturers even approve 225/35/19 to 9.5 wide.

I would say between -2 to -3, so well in the range of your camber plate adjustment.

Do you suggest I get the rear 19x9.5'' in 21+ offset instead of the 35+ offset with a 10mm spacer?

How bad is the ride quality affected when using a spacer?

It's your call. 19x9.5 et21 or 19x9.5 et35 with 10-15mm spacers are basically samething, both will fit with fender roll to rear. If you don't want to play with spacers then choose et21. Spacers don't affect ride quality unless they are cheap crap then it could possibly vibrate. If it would be my choice i would choose et21 rear, but still front needs 3-5mm spacer with et35.
