Help with wheel fitment for a 130i

Hey guys,

I'm currently thinking about getting the Linea Corse Lemans wheels in Hyper Black. I have a Sparking Graphite 1er, so when i saw this photo i couldnt help but to fall in love.

Pic:

My question is if the following specs could work on the e87?
Front - 19x8.5 +30mm offset
Rear - 19x10 +37mm offset

I've seen a 19x10 work on an e87 before, but i dont know what the offset was. So if anyone knows more about this kind of setup, i would love to hear from you!

Cheers

ps: i'm not too fussed about rolling the fenders and stretching the tyres.

I think 10" on the rear is a little hopeful, I have seen it but I believe it is non stop rubbing.
Myself I am running 8" ET 40 with 225 on the front and 9" ET 40 with 245 on the rear without rubbing. I would say you might be able to get away with 255 on the rear.
My thoughts only and good luck with your choice.

I agree with Blacky. Consider this: With 18x8.5 (offset 35) and 225/40 front and rear, all four touch the fenders under extreme driving conditions (the Nürburgring track in Germany).
Personally, I think 10" is just too beefy. 8,5-9" with 245-255 is as much as the 1-body can take (aesthetically as well as practically), at least without modifying any body parts.
But's that's just my opinion.

The wheels themselves are quite nice, though

Thanks for bringing me back to reality guys, lol. I now need to think about a more conservative offset. The only other option is 19x9.5 +40 in the rears. Do you guys think these will fit more easily?

Cheers.

This is by no way scientific but if you are running a 9.5 with a ET 40 and I a 9" ET 40 with the same tire, I am thinking you should be in good shape.

As I say nothing scientific but just a guess.
