    Offset for 19's

    OK, so here is the main reason I want to get new wheels. I like the way the ones on the car look now, but...the fronts sit inside the fenders more than an inch. The backs tuck nicely, but I don't see myself putting a 1"+ spacer up front. I'm not a fan of that idea, but I want the wheels to just barely tuck. So, the wheels I'm considering are 19x9 up front and 19x10 in back. Keep in mind my car is lowered. I'm thinking 235/35/19 up front for tire, and 265/30/19 in rear. Fenders are rolled. What offset am I looking at?

    I'm rolling the 135 BMW wheel. 18x7.5 et49 front, 18x8.5 et52 rear. Current tires are 225 front and 245 rear I believe.

    I found out the fronts they make 19x8.5 too so that should help in front.

    OK, so you currently have the OEM setup and you're looking to go to 19's?

    Dane's right, ET35 would be good.

    If you want that aggressive of a wheel, you may need to roll and pull fenders. 330i_ZHP (Stu - is on here and e46fanatics) rolled, pulled, and later installed M3 fenders to install 19x9 and 19x10 BBS LMs. He's good people - I'm sure you could ask him what he's had to do and what limits he bumped (or rubbed) up against.

    Around page 70, he's going for 19x10 and 19x11.... 285/30...
