Do you have pictures of the fronts from this along with wheel specs?

Would a 18x9 ET31 + 255/40/18 be too wide?

Can you find out the offset? Is the car lowered?

19x8.5 et33 all around with 265-35-15 on all 4. Yes the car is lowered with Eibach Sport Springs and Bilstein Sport Struts and Shocks, but repeat, lowered not slammed. I have had 4 people in the car and no rubbing in rear and certainly none in front.

I'd love to see pics of this set up if you have them. 265/35R19 isn't recommend on an 8.5" wide wheel, so really curious how fat they look on the wheel. I'm considering a square set up next year so really interested in seeing how yours looks.

If i run 19" x 9.5" all round, will ET33 all round work? Thinking of going a 255/35 tyre. Car is lowered on H&R's.

thats pretty aggressive for the front, although i have seen members run a 9.5. cant comment on if youll run into rubbing issues.

Yes, I was pretty proud and happy. The tire shop told me the same but my background years ago was in wheels/tires so even though ideally thats not the correct size for the wheel, when you see it, its not really very drastic. The car feels great with them too. See next post with a photo...

I just bought a 335i F30 as well and this one is getting wheels/tires next week. 19x9 et32 M5 345 wheels all four are fronts. This car is not lowered and I thought about the 265s again but playing it safer this time since these are 19x9s. Tires will be 255-35-19s all around.

completely agree, 19x9.5 et 33, likely will rub no matter what tire size you run.

Update: I just got back from Americas Tire and put the 19x9 et 32 M5 front wheels on all four corners with 255-35-19 Hankooks on all four and everything fits perfectly. This is my 335 F30 and its a Modern Line so not dropped by any means. I likely could have gone 265s, especially on the rear but I am guessing the fronts would rub and also stick out more than wanted. Right now everything is flush.

very great news. you think you have enough room in there to fit a 255/40/19 potentially for some thicker rubber?
