VMR Fitment Question

Car:2008 335xi

Wheels: 19" VMR V710
Front: 19 x 9.5 +33
Rear: 19 x 10 +25

Tires: Falken FK452
Front: 225/35/19
Rear:245/35/19

Can this fit the xi model 335? I really do not mind rolling fenders if need be. Also, how much room do you think this setup would allow for drop?

If anyone has pictures of this setup on a xi, I would love to see!

Thanks

Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the rears will need to be rolled, not sure how a 9.5 fits in the front, it should be close.

Why is that? wouldn't it allow me to stretch them some so I could sit lower with coilovers? or the xi not capable of dropping low enough to tuck them in the fender?

thanks

You'd have to make sure that the rolling diameter of the tires are within a 1% difference for the xi aka x-drive models.

What size would you recommend for an aggressive fitment?

When you say within 1% do you mean smaller than?

I attached an image according to the fitment calculator on the top of the fourm.

Thanks

You'll need to have a decent fender roll/pull in order for that to fit properly. I'd recommend a 19x8.5 +35, 19x10 +38 then space it out accordingly if it's not aggressive enough for your taste.

You need to compare your front and rear wheel/tire sizes with each other, not against stock, because the xi needs all 4 wheels to have about the same rolling diameter.

Although it was already mentioned, you need to need to be aware that the 19x10 ET25 is an aggressive fitment for your car. You'll need to roll your rear fenders to avoid rubbing issues. As VMR mentioned, the recommended setup is the 19x10 ET38 for a direct fit. As per the tire size, I would recommend that you go with the 235/35/19 up front and the 265/30/19 in the rear.

Assuming you are accurate, what tire size would you ultimately recommend?

225 on 9.5" is stretched and not necessary with et33.. so go with 235/265 if you don't plan on using spacers or slamming it
