Hey all, I have a RWD 2016 M235i wanted to know if it's possible to run 19x8.5 ET32 squared. More concerned with rear fitment as I have read that someone was able to run this setup in front with no problem, although rear fitment was not mentioned.
Currently on stock suspension, considering dinan springs.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I'd be concerned about fender rubbing in the front as well TBH. Might be OK with 225s, but probably not anything wider.

Thanks for your response.

Is it safe to say I can run a wider tire like MPSS in 225/35 all around with no issues on stock suspension?

Most people upgrading wheels/tires are looking to get more rubber on the road, in either square or staggered configurations. If you are more concerned about maximizing poke 225s on ET in the lower 30s will probably work.

To be completely honest, I found a set of wheels that I like with the specs mentioned for sale and I’m trying to see if there is any configuration that would work.

Is there any tire setup I can run that would not require a stretched tire setup. And if so, what modifications would need to be made in order to accommodate said setup.

With 245/30-19 tyres all around and camber plates with about 2.5 degrees of camber on the front would probably work. The ET32 vs ET45 wheels plus 10mm or so of extra tyre width on the outside would move the top of the front tyre out by 23mm, but 2.5 degrees of camber would move the top of the strut in again by 25mm or so, so the top of the tyre would move in about 20mm and clear the fender.

At the rear the 245 wide tyre will probably be about 5mm outside the fender with ET32 vs ET52 stock, but will probably clear the lip on full compression, if not a fender roll/stretch could create clearance or alternatively adjusting the rear suspension to say -2.1 compared with the stock -1.75 using the stock eccentric bolts may give enough clearance.
