Would these setups work?

The 19x9 ET28 and the 19x9 ET30 are essentially going to be sitting the same way on the car as it is only a 2mm (less than an 1/8 inch) difference. This setup can work fine, but note that your tire sizing is crucial to make sure your X-drive system is happy. You can run a 235/35-19 front and 265/30-19 rear OR 245/35-19 front and 275/30-19 rear tires.

That said, you will likely have to roll your rear quarts, and likely add negative camber to the front to help the fit.

There is no need to do any arch work at all on the rear to facilitate 9.5J ET33 / 10J ET40 - 265/35 clears perfectly with no rubbing on a lowered car.

Fronts, same story - 9J ET28 / 9J ET30 clear with no need for any modifications on a lowered car, when using 245/35 or 235/40.

I had a set of ARC8s in 18X9 +30 and with 255/40 Michelin MPSAS I had some rubbing in the rear on bumps and the front at full lock. I switched to 245/40 (same tires) and never had another issue. When I went to the 19” I went with 245/3519 and have had zero issues. I hope that helps.

Thought I'd drop an update since I changed the suspension

ST XA Coilovers
5mm spacers front
3mm spacers rear, would've probably used 5mm but only had one set
Slight front fender rub on hard bumps, but all good otherwise lock to lock

Luckily Adrian stepped up with his 435i and volunteered to help showcase our wheels on his fully blacked-out car. We're loving the contrast our wheels bring to this heavily modified full bolt-on car.

Would I be able to run this setup with the same front wheel and tire setup but do a 19x9.5+33 with a 275/30/19 tire in the rear? F32 M Sport with the Blue 370m front brakes 345mm rear brakes on ST XA Coilovers.

Do you have any examples of an arc 8 on a silver f32? Looking for inspiration and specs. Having a hard time choosing color. I really like the arc 8 but I'm open to suggestions!
