Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on some wheels for my car, a 545i sport.
The problem is the wheels I like are only available in 19x11 et22 and 19x9.5 et20.
What tire size could I run to get away with keeping my stock suspension and prevent rubbing?, will 275/35 on 11" and 245/35 on 9.5" look extra stretched?.
Also if anyone as a similar set up and care to share some pics it will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

if you keep your ride at stock height you might be able to get away with that tire setup w/o rubbing….MIGHT. (but I highly doubt it since you've got a 545 with sport suspension). That probably already sits pretty low as it is so the tire setup you're considering will most definitely rub. You'll probably need to run some negative camber as well. It's not impossible, just kinda takes the fun out of driving. I ran this setup for about 2 years.

Thanks for the reply ^ your chariot is sick man!, Just found out the 11" wheels as an offset of 25 and not 22 as I mentioned above, not sure how much better this will be based on what you said above.
As for the front every 19" wheel that I like is 9.5", will running a 5-10mm spacer with the et20 up front take the wheel ways outside the fender? And where were your front tires making contact ( strut, front or rear fender liner, outer edge of fender ?
Thanks again.
