I would recommend going with some 19" wheels, as they look the best. You would need to go with a 19x8.5 ET35 with a 235/35/19 front and 19x9.5 ET33 with a 265/30/19 rear. I can suggest some wheels for ya if we know what kind of budget we are working with. VMR and Avant Garde make some solid wheels at an affordable price.

19" in general is the wheel of choice these days (unless you have pothole infested roads). Fitment of choice would be 19x8.5 ET35 and 19x9.5 ET33 with 235/35/19 and 265/35/19. A lot of customers also upsize their tires to 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 without any major issues.

Just wonder if for the rear 19x9.5 et33, would it fit 255/30/19 tires?

Thanks

I think you guys are missing the fact that the OP has an E90 LCI and not the pre-LCI. For those of you who don't know, the E90 LCI (09+) does have a 8mm wider track in the rear than the E90 pre-LCI (06-08). With that being said, the recommended setup is the 19x8.5 ET35 with a 235/35/19 up front and the 19x9.5 ET40-45 with a 265/30/19 in the rear. Seeing how you're car is lowered on H&R Race springs, you definitely would want to stick with a setup that follows those parameters. You can also run the 19x9.5 ET33 with a 255/30/19 in the rear as well with a fender roll. You will most likely have rubbing issues with the second setup if a fender roll isn't done.
