E90 lci 335i, 18" or 19" wheels?

kge90 · 09-14-2011, 12:06 AM

I have a white e90 lci 335i and can't decide between 18" or 19" wheels. Any feedback or photos would help. Please include the wheel/tire set up you have.
Wheels I have been looking at:
Vmr vb3 or v710
Breyton race gts
Avante Garde m310

Most likely will hit the strut. You will need spacers - which means losing the stability

-2. This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

Of those options I would probably get the VMR VB3's with the 9.5" front and 10" rear. Have you checked out the Avant Garde 359? They are CSL style too and would look great on an LCI e90. Definitely go with 19".

Oh yeah...Alufelgen SF-71 are nice too and still around the price range of the others.

The E90 LCI runs a slightly higher offset in the rear for the best fitment. You would run a 19x8.5 et.35 and a 19x9.5 et.43. If you went with a 10" rear you can run a et 38 offset which would be great too. Here are some pics running the Avant Garde M310 and M359. You cant go wrong with the Avant Garde Wheels they are light weight and low pressure cast!

Is a 19x8.5 and 19x10 to much stagger? What is the right tire size for best performance, 235/35 and 265/30 or can you go larger with out rub?

The 359 comes in a 19x9 and 19x10 which is perfect profile. It's the same set up on the pics of the E90s. With our customers we have been running the 235/35 and 265/30 set up. I have seen guys run the 275 rear as well!

Hopefully these photos can help you narrow down your decision.

Why would he regret it, it's a 1" difference it's barely noticeable. 19's look goofy with less uniform gap at the top, IMO. I was on the fence, but shitty roads plus goofy look equals 18's for my E90.
