Hey All. So I'm getting some new wheels and tires and am unsure on what size best suits my car. I've done my share of searching but still haven't found the answers I need.

My car is a stock 2009 e90 (LCI) 335i with Sport.

The wheel sizes available are:

19x8.5 ET35 (FRONT)
19x8.5 ET15
19x9.5 ET33 (REAR)
19x9.5 ET20

I have bracketed what my opinion for choices would be. Also will I need any spacers? I would also like to know what size tires would fit on the wheels that are correct. This is my first set of aftermarket wheels so bare with me with all the questions.

Thanks in advance for your help.

you need to go with(no need of spacers or fender rolling):
19x8.5 ET35
19x9.5 ET40(since you have an LCI)

spacers would only be needed if you go with wheels that have too high of an offset. For wheels that have too low of an offset, fender rolling is an option that'll help.

with those specs, you will have no problem running 235/35-19 and 265/30-19 tires.


what kind of wheels did you have in mind?
