What's going on people,
I was ordering some Breyton Spirits in 19's but TireRack is telling me that the dimensions should be 19 x 9 (front) and 19x10 (rear). I don't have any trouble regarding the rear but doesn't 19 x 9 sound too wide for the front?!? Going through a lot of your profiles, I see that a lot of you guys (and gals) have 8.5 in the front so I'm worried that these 9's will rub. Am I just being paranoid?!? TireRack says that they don't come in 8.5 and the guy says that he just inputs the make/model of the car and his program tells him what sizes are optimal for these rims! Before you guys make any suggestions, please know that my car is a 530i Sport that is also going to be lowered with Eibach springs so rubbing is a concern. Thanks fellas.

I have been going through the same thing and the only 9 inch fronts I have in my notes are an AC Schnitzer - 9,0J x 20 offset 22 -- 255/30 R 20 and a Style 149 9 x 20 -- 245/40 R 20 unknown offset.
I am also having trouble convincing a German aftermarket dealer that 275's will fit on the back - something to do with the T?V documents.

I've seen quite a few guys on here with 19 or 20 x 9's in the front.? I think the majority of rubbing problems stems more from the rears than the fronts.

Well, I thought the same thing but, after some scanning, I noticed that most of the people on this forum who have 9 in. in the front have 20's, not 19's. Does this matter?
I think I'll be okay in the rear with 19 x 10's.

As iam planning on buying the same wheels & probaly getting them from the rack as well, Ive noticed that on the internet they are 19x9 for the fronts & 19x9.5 for the rears not 19x10.

look to me Hamann mentioned:
front: 8,5Jx19 tyre 245/35ZR19
rear: 10,0Jx19 tyre 275/30ZR19
so I think they would only suggest normal things that is good for your car and you too. They are pros.

Though they look good, those breyton spirits are some heavy mofos.? Not sure if it's a concern of yours, but you'll probably notice it in your acceleration.

Geez, I never thought about that!!! I guess I just assumed that most aftermarket rims would be at least lighter than stocks. I wonder how I can find out?
