Who should I buy from? Any bad experiences?
After countless hours that I will never get back I have narrowed it down to 2 wheel/tire package....
#1 Alufelgen CS7 19 x 9.5 for the rear and 19 x 8.5 for the front in Hyper Black. Michelin PS2's 275 x 30 for the rear and 235/245 (whichever will fit without rubbing depending on offset) x 35 for the front. #2 VMR VB3's 19 x 10 back and 19 x 8.5 front in Hyper Black. Same size tires as above. Anyone see a problem with the above setups? Sponsored vendors you can PM me if you can help me out with this |

how do the hyper blacks compare on both wheels? I think the VMRs are a bit darker while the alufelgens are more glossy and lighter. Not sure if I have it mixed up or not.

8.5 +40 front would work, but 245's are a hair wide up front and may rub during compression and cornering. You will be safer with a 235. If it is a Sedan, unfortunately the 10 +38 with a 275 is quite aggressive due to the widened track and it will cause rubbing issues. You'll need to do some fender work and run a narrower tire for it to clear. If it is a Coupe, this would be fine at stock ride height depending on what tire manufacturer you run. -Charles@VMRWheels

I have the Sedan....
From what I have found though it seems noone on the planet has either of these combos in stock so I guess I have to find other things to do with my money. I don't want to order and pay then wait months to get them |

Ok.....So the Avante Garde M359.....19X10 38 Offset with a 265x30 tire in the rear and a 19X9 35 Offset with a 235X35 tire in the front? Will this work to have tires close to flush with no spacers?

I asked Alan************ the same question as I am about to purchase the m359's and run a 235 front and 265 rear. He told me it would fit perfectly flush.

Thanks for all the feedback and kind word guys. With that being said, we do carry a wide variety of wheel choices for you guys to select from. To the OP, the E90 LCI does have a wider track as compared to the E90 pre-lci models. With that being said, you do need a more conservative setup in back. I'll go ahead and shoot you over a PM with more details. In the meantime, here are a few different setups for you to consider and of course for the rest of the community to view!
2009+ E90 LCI fitments: 1) Alufelgen CS7: 19x8.5 ET35 - 235/35/19 19x9.5 ET35 - 265/30/19 2) VMR VB3: 19x8.5 ET40 - 235/35/19 19x9.5 ET45 - 265/30/19 or 275/30/19 19x10 ET38 - aggressive and will require you to roll your rear fenders, run stretched tires, and negative camber 3) Avant Garde M359 19x9.0 ET35 - 235/35/19 19x10 ET38 - aggressive and will require you to roll your rear fenders, run stretched tires, and negative camber 4) Avant Garde M310 19x8.5 ET35 - 235/35/19 19x9.5 ET43 - 265/30/19 or 275/30/19 |
