19x10 +25 on E90 LCI?

AK. · 01-09-2017, 02:25 AM

Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to fit 275/30 tires on a 19x10 +25 setup. I have an E90 LCI with rolled, shaved, and slight pull on the fender. I'm also lowered on KW V2's. Any possible way to fit that? I currently have Pure stage 2's so I need something that can hook. What kind of performance tires do you guys recommend that is fine to drive on the street and track? Is it much more recommended to run 265/30 instead? Thanks.

RE11 is probably the best tire in that size. I know the tire will fit no problem, but not sure if you will need spacers due to the offset.

I would look at tires in both 265 and 275 that meet your needs and fit your budget. The 10mm difference in the two is negligible...especially if you're comparing a stickier 265 to a less sticky 275.

I can't imagine you'd need spacers with that low of an offset on a 10" wheel.

If you are looking to track the car, and would like to fit a 275's out back, I would highly suggest an 18" diameter wheel that has a more functional offset. As you may know, the 18" diameter will open you up to many more tire options, as well as decrease rotating mass and reduce the cost of consumables. If you are tracking the car more then a few times a year, the tire costs really start to get you. An 10" wheel with an ET25 offset can fit, but it would be very aggressive for the rear of an E90 LCO and would typically require stretched tires. If you are looking to maximize performance, this is not a desirable specification.

If your goal is to squeeze an impressive amount of rubber out back to help put down that new found power, a higher wheel offset will play an important role. Customers have ran our EC-7 18x10" ET33, or 18x10" ET43 with 275/35-18 tires an example. With negative camber, and the fenders modified, 285's would even be possible.

Here is a photo of a track oriented e92 with the fitment spec's listed below. Note that since you have an E90 LCI, you will have slightly less clearance in the rear due to your slightly wider track width. The 18x10" ET43 helps supply E90 LCI owners with more room for those meaty tires you desire.

Front: EC-7 18x9" ET31 - 255/35-18
Rear: EC-7 18x10" ET33 - 275/35-18

Happy to answer any questions, regardless of what brand of wheel you are looking for.
