F30 xDrive 19x9.5 et33 SQUARED fitment
Hello all -- I'm looking to buy a set of wheels but their sizing is pretty limited. I definitely want a squared setup but 8.5" is too narrow for my taste, and 9" isn't offered. So 9.5" et33-35 is what I"m working with. Does anyone have any experience running this spec (or very close to it)? Keep in mind that I have no suspension mods or fender mods (will do these if necessary).
I saw one user awhile ago run 19x9.5 et35 squared, but he was only a mm away from hitting his strut (although he claims he had no rubbing issues in ANY situations); with that information in mind, I'm inclined to go with et33, but that may rub the fender? Any help is appreciated! |

I'm running a square set up
Wheels are 19x9.5 5x120 ET20 Tires are 255/35ZR19 My tires poke out a bit past the fender, I didn't adjust camber at all from stock. There is about 3/4" between the inside of the tire and the strut so you could go with a larger offset and then tweak it with a spacer if you had to.

that looks terrible in my opinion.
OP, why the need for 9.5 wide wheels on your 328? especially at stock height. I run 8.5 up front with a 235 and its plenty meaty. You can even go 8.5s with 255s square and be fine. whats the desire for trying to shove a 9.5 wide wheel up front?

I think conti's run narrow. The Federals I run always run wide ~10mm. I feel like I could fit a 245/35 as-is, i just would have to be selective on the brand. Going narrower while experimenting with the sizes is the safer bet than going wide and trying to make the tires fit. |

i've said it in other threads. the reason for the sale is they wont fit. sometimes a sale just aint worth it if it requires a whole lot of work to fit them. I too have xdrive and run staggered VMR wheels using 235/265

With a 235-245 up front it'll work but as you see it'll look goofy. Unless you want to look like you're driving a skateboard, not worth it. Save up and buy wheels that fit. Black Friday sales will be here in a few months, and the classifieds is full of quality used options.

Yes they will still poke. The wheels are too wide in the front and you'll need a spacer to compensate, causing it to poke more. Do your research on here if you want more concrete evidence. You'll find 18x8.5 et35 with 245 square all day on x-drive cars sitting flush. You want yours to stick out over 1/2" more, go right ahead. These are the classifieds. https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=473 good luck. |

No one wants you to fail, just saying you're teetering on the edge of what works and likely to have issues. When you stop being honest about your mistakes and feed more crap into the community pool, more people just have the same issues. |
