Anyone Have 19" Wheels On Stock XI Height?

Hey guys, I am looking to possibly replace the 18" 193M's with 19" 313's on my 2013 E92 335XI. I am wondering if 19" wheels on stock XI ride height is common around here. Photo examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

not 313's but they are 19"s. pics are kinda small, tried to resize but then they were so blurry. Rear isn't horrible but definitely wheel gap in the front. I'd love to lower it but it just seems that it will cost me at least $1k on the conservative side to do it right.

My 07 was lowered and had no gap but I grew accustomed to my XIs, ready for the flood look.

I got 235/35/19 varrstoen es1 19x9.5 all around with 35mm offset. I got them completely custom so the rear lip is 3.75 and front is 3.25 so it looks fat from the back

I have AG 359 19's with stock height on Koni FSDs. Feels better than stock but the Eibach springs would be next but I am not going any further. Running 19's are going to feel a little harsh. I like comfort so that's why I stopped with the suspension. If I had 18's then yes Eibach pro kit with my FSDs. It would feel the same but definitely handle better imo.

Do you have any rub or did you roll fenders for the rears? I just ordered AG 359's (19x9ET35, 19x10ET38) and was also wondering if they would work with stock suspension and no fender roll. I was hoping to run 245/35 and 275/30, if that's possible...

Sorry, I don't mean to thread jack. Was just looking for some answers on this too.

19" wheels, 8.5" wide squared, 245-35/19 tires with 10mm rear spacer.

Waiting for weather to improve so I can install coilovers.

I have an 08 335xi coupe. Running AG 359s and 19x9, 19x10. not lowered, no fender work. Tires in the back are 275. no rub and no issues

I have a wheel and tire thrown in the trunk for a spare. Maybe the weight of that lowers it slightly but it looks good at the rear but the front the gap /rake is not very nice. But i think it looks fine. Looks better than when i had my 18s on but the width of the wheel and tire combo (conti dws) helps reduce the gap

Ok, thanks! That's good to hear. Are you running 245's in the front? Or do you need a 235 to avoid any rolling diameter issues with the xi?

Just reading this thread...so its it a confirmed yes that 245/275 will indeed rub if lowered (on an XI)?

the determining factor for rubbing is offset, I ran 235/275 on a set of alufelgen sf71, but they had stock offsets and no rub, went to a set of style 95s and a 265 rear would rub on stock height over dips, lowered an inch and now it rubs like crazy, need to roll/pull the rears

No need to confirm. I think I'll poll the forum to get a definitive answer. I didn't want to do it but I just haven't been able to find enough support for an E92 xdrive (LCI - if that even matters) on stock suspension. I think if you're running 275 on the exact same wheel then I should be able to as well. Still not sure about a 245 front though.

Im running 235/275 on the same 19" AG 359 set up. I also have spacers on the car 18mm in the front 12 mm in the rear, I don't rub unless I go over speed bump too fast( only in the rear). One recommendation I can give you is don't buy Conti DWS 6's, the tire thread makes insane road noise. I would have went with summer tires if i knew this beforehand.

Ok, thanks! I guess I'll go with the235/275 setup then. I didn't really want to use spacers but it sounds like without them there will be a decent gap between tire and fender.

No worries... ZERO rubbing on stock suspension. Not lowered just new Koni FSD's is all. Comfy ride. Double check on the 245/35 fronts. I have 235/35. Keeps me within the 1% eventhough I'm not in the top 1%.

Perfect. I did a bit more research and decided to go with the 235/275 setup so that I keep within the 1% too (but not the top 1%)

yeah! the spacers make it look really aggressive. I will take a picture and upload it so you can see..

curious...do you think the 359's are a bit wide? 19x9 and 19x10... I wish they had a 19x8 and 19x9 set up in these rims. Just wondering about your set up.
