Will this setup work on a 09 335xi?

88BMW88 · 09-09-2009, 02:49 PM

Planning to purchase a new set of tires/wheels for my 09 e92 335xi.

Here is the setup:

19x8.5 (front), 19x10 (rear)
235/35, 265/30
stock suspension
switch from factory RFT to non-RFT

Any problem with this setup? DSC, TPMS?

Thanks!

it will, I run the same set up as far as wheels and tires go. But your going to really really want to lower it after you put the wheels on. xi's on stock suspension with 19's don't look good.

Some KW V1's can certainly fix that

H&R coilovers do the trick as well.

With a +35-40 front and +38 rear, no problems with this setup guaranteed!

Here's a shot of the exact setup but on some lowering springs.

Thanks all! I am afraid that the ride quality will suffer if I lower it. Is that true? I really have no idea on this topic. Please help!

Not at all! As long as you get a good quality spring and shock combo or coilover setup you should be able to ride like clouds...

Do you have any setups in mind?

with an xi your options are very limited. Go with coilovers. You'll be very happy with overall ride quality.
