Front should, rear no.
Those are the offset of previous gen E9x.

Rears need to be closer to +40

Those wheels can fit but the rears will be on the aggressive side. What profile tire are you going to run?

The front is fine. The rear is to low. Need to bring that offset to at least 40-42.
FYI our specs 19x9 et 35 & 19x10.5 et 45

What size tires to you plan on purchasing ?

10.5 ET45s would run nearly (if not more) the same spec as a 9.5ET33 so kind of unsure how it would not work.

Oh well, I am going to try. People said I wouldn't be able to fit 9.5ET20 on my lowered E90 and it had great fitment with no rubbing and minimal camber (did have to roll the rears though)

Those wheels can definitely fit without rubbing but will be aggressive in the rear. The downside is that the front will be inside the fender a bit while the rear will be poking out a bit. A 5mm spacer in the front will help to balance out the look.

Tires are a little small for the front.
Let us know how it went...

And if it does work, don't forget:

So my rear tires that came with the rims are pretty bald - Fronts have ample thread.
Any recommendations for what size I should go to minimize rub but keep a flush/meaty fitment - I'm thinking 265/30 or 35 or 255/35

Hey guys, new to the forum, I just got a 320d xDrive f30 (2013) or how you'd call it in the US 328d, and was wondering if going with almost the same setup (front rims 8,5x19" ET35 tires 235/35 and rear rims 9,5x19" ET35 and tires 265/30) would harm your car mechanically in any way (differential or any other mechanical bit). I'm just starting to dig into the matter, that you need to be picky about the rims on the xDrive models and would like to know what you guys think about this. Also my car doesn't have any sport suspension or adaptive suspension.

As long as the rolling diameter is within a small percentage of each other, it will be fine (1%).

I have settled on a set of 255/35 or 265/35 for the rear.

Going to be buying them tomorrow and hopefully test fit the rims

In case it helps, I have 19x9.5 et 37 in the rear with falken fk 453 265/35/19 and lowered on h&r sports. Very minimal rubbing only on large bumps. No camber or fender roll.

Bought a set of 255/35 for the rear and 235/35 for the front, can't wait to mount them on thursday/friday.

Hopefully shouldn't have any rub.

Just had them mounted and installed. They fit great. I definitely think I have the room to go for wider tires in the front ... or get a nice set of spacers (had so-so experience with spacers before as they caused my old E90 to vibrate very slightly). Could have gone for 265s or 275s in the rear, but I'll deal with it.

Absolutely no rub, even carrying about 250 lbs worth of tires and rims in the rear.







Will upload some better pics to my progress thread

You can easily do 5mm spacers up front. As far as vibration issues, I would recommend picking up a set of h&r spacers, and if installed properly, you should have no vibration issues whatsoever.

I have 19x8.5s with et37 up front with 245/35/19s, and even with h&r 5mm spacers, I still probably have another 2mm of room to get fully flush.
