I've read that some people have problem with rubbing with ET35 9.5" wheels and 265 tires on LCI's. Can any vendors chime in?

PSU,

I'm not a vendor, but have talked to several about this issue. I have a 2010 LCI E90 and most have told me a 19x9.5 ET35 with a 265/30/19 is right on the bubble for what WILL or WON'T rub. They say it might come down to which tire brand you choose (square or rounded shoulders). Most suggest an offset of 40 or more to avoid having any issues or having to roll the fenders.

Good info in that last post, but I'm wondering if anyone else can chime in?

No it will not rub, I should know since I am running this set up. 275 and you might have some problems.

9.5 +35 with a 265 is very close but it can work with a narrow 265.

cssms - are you running Conti DWS's on the 9.5 35mm rears? Just want to make sure they don't rub since I'm looking to pull the trigger on the same setup (already have the tires).

Yes that is the size wheel I am running in the rear with a 265/30 tire. I have lowered my car since on Eibach Pro Kit springs and BMW Performance Dampers and I still don't rub.

Great news, since I have X-Drive I should have no issues

Now I just need to find a vendor with 19" staggered matte black SF-71's in stock

Several of us in the xdrive section are running this setup. I am running 275 rear Goodyear Assy. with no rubbing at all. Did not roll fenders.

Anybody with an LCI e90 try the AD08's in 265/35/18 on 18x9.5 ET35's? If they're going to rub, I may just buy a set of stock-sized tires (225/40 and 255/35) now & run them on my OEM 287's until I get wheels. Save me from having to suffer the RFTs any longer.

That'll probably rub, the AD08s very wide/square... you could get away with it with a guard roll though.
