E92 and E93 are the same right?

How much work would it be to fit 19x9.5" ET33 all-around on a E93?

Tire size: 265/30-19 preferred, or 255/30-19 if I must.
Suspension: Stock non-sport, no camber plates, but might may lower in the future (e.g. just springs)
Fender rolling: mild - i.e. don't want to pull / warp / deform the fenders
Alignment: How much negative camber do I need? I'm assuming I would knock out the strut tower alignment pins and max out negative camber in the front (I'm guessing this won't give me much more than -1.0º, is that right?)

Is this possible? Any thoughts / experiences to chime in?

As far as i know e92 and e93 have the same fender space front and back. 19x9.5 et33 rears will fit fine, but i have no idea how you will manage to fit the fronts. I think there are a few members running 9's in the front, but i haven’t seen any 9.5''s yet. The only hope would be with a stiff enough coilover setup and some major tire stretch/neg camber, but even that would have to be test fitted due to a high probability of rubbing. What would freak me out the most would be damaging the e92/93's plastic front fenders if the rims were to impact them hard enough. I don’t know how you could modify these fenders, since they are plastic ,unlike the e90s.

What about 19x9.5" ET40 all-around? That's the equivalent of 19x9" ET34 or so, in terms of outside fender clearance.

19x9.5 ET40 will hit the struts in the front. I think I've seen pics of an e90 with 19x9.5 ET33 in the front.

OT, but are E92 M's front fenders plastic as well?

Link to the thread of the e90 with 19x9.5 ET33 in the front.

As far as I know, yes they are. They are lighter and more durable, it only makes sense...
