best looking offset for 335i sedan
can I please get some recommendations for the best offset for 19" wheels and sizes (19x8.5, 19x9 etc.)? I plan on getting staggered wheels. i'm more concerned about the front wheel since the rear wheel setup already looks a little dropped, but there's typically a big gap in the front wheels/fenders. thanks.

Without modification, ET30-35 for the front is perfect. The rear you should go with ET30 (or 33 since some wheels come with that offset).
You could go lower in the rear but depending on the wheel & tires size and offset, you might need fender rolling as well as negative camber. |

thanks. how about the wheel width for front/rear? would like to avoid having to go any wider than 265...i actually prefer 255 on the rear anyway. thanks again.

With a 19" staggered setup, you'd probably want to go with a setup something like this: 19x8.5 with an ET32-35 offset 19x9.5 with an ET30-35 offset With this setup, you can probably get it installed on your car without any sort of extra modifications needed. You might be able to get a more aggressive rear offset, but you'll probably require some fender rolling. It also depends on the size of the tire you're going after--265/30/19 is generally recommended, but some go with 275/30/19s, and I've heard it was just fine with the E90s--I've also heard they needed to do a minor fender roll. It's probably because they've lowered their car though--you really have to take into consideration what is going to be done with the wheels |

If you want to run 255 in the rear, stick with 8.5" width wheels. You can go with 8.5" all around if you want. Feel free to contact us directly with any questions.

I think 8.5 is a great look in the front with a 19" wheel. Going with 19x9 - 19x9.5 will work with the 255...although with the 19x9.5 the 265 is recommended
