New (to me) e90 owner and member

stephen335xi · 07-05-2015, 08:10 AM

Recently came from an e39

08 E90 335xi
Mods
-JB4 G5
-DCI
-Linea Corse Lemans 19x8.5 / 19x10 235/35 & 285/30

7/20 Edit: Finally lowered it on h&r coilovers last week. From past experiences with coils these really impressed me by far the best I've ever had. They're maxed out front and back and still ride amazingly.
I took a couple photos from this show I went to this past weekend.

9/6/15 Update: front lip, new wheels, modded the front coilovers to get lower. 18x9.5 et22 / 18x10.5 et22
-And some shots on stocks while i waited for the wheels

Love the Tan leather..

If it was me i'd leave it on 235/35 up front and go for 255 or 265/35 rears..

It just looks over tyred @ the rear to me..

Thanks the interior is what sold me
I was thinking 265 but I wanted the meaty look, I may have to go back to 265 when I lower it unless I can fit the 285 somehow

With xDrive, the only staggered sizes you can run with a 235/35 front is a 275/30 rear. You might be able to get away with a 265/30 rear but the diameter is 0.8% smaller than the front. The 275/30 is the same diameter as a 235/35. With xDrive the rears need to be smaller than the front and no more than 1% smaller. Of course, the closer the better.

Otherwise, a 245/35 and 285/30 will work.

stephen335xi · 07-06-2015, 02:29 PM

Ahhh ok good to know, I was under the impression it could be 1% bigger OR smaller. I'll get it figured out, thanks
