Aggressive Fitment e90 Pre LCI

Hey guys I am going to be running the varrstoen lm reps on my e90 with a pretty low drop. I was wondering what size tire to run? I wanted to run 265/30/19 in the rear with a 235/35/19 in front. The sizes are 9.5 et22 front and 10.5 et 22 rear if I remember correctly. I know I will have to roll my fenders. But would this be ok? Do I need to run camber plates up front or am I good with just a coil over setup without it?

With a 235 up front you might want some FK bump stops, depending or ride height it will rub in the front wheel well - upper bumper mounting bracket -

Normally it is a 225/35 front and 245/35 rear for those wheels on this body.

a 265/30 will rub the rear bumper and fender mounting area, so that will need to be trimmed down also if you choose to go that way

I don't mind the trimming in the rear but the front you say I need a bump stop. Ok I'll have to look into that. Anyone with pics with similar setups that can post pics?

That fitment does look perfect! I really like how flush that is. What fender work have you had done, Gavin?
