Re: So u think u can Volk ME?
Yes. it will, evokim.
if you like Volk Progressiv ME
the spec recommended by RAYS for E90
front Face 1 19x8.5 ET35 235/35
rear Face 2 19x9.5 ET30 265/30 or 275/30(if you like more higher sidewall)
if you like more aggressive for the rear, you can try ET22 for the rear. that's what TrippleM using for his rear.
good luck.

Re: So u think u can Volk ME?
how difficult is it to fit ET22 at the rear? can just by rolling fenders can rectify it? or you need to put on aggresive camber as well?
how about E92... from what i know...E92 is running even less agressive offset

Re: So u think u can Volk ME?
For ET+22 at the back on new 3 series..
I think E92 can take it with aggressive fender rolling plus -2deg camber 275 tires..
Seems to me that E90 offset is slightly less aggressive than the E92 so
I think max E90 can take is +25 with rolling and -1.5 deg camber 275 tires max
If u do +30 at the back, no rolling , no rubbing , even with 275 tires n quite flushed

Re: So u think u can Volk ME?
errr... from what I learned so far, most 8.5 width wheels on the front of E90 max can only go ET+32. anything more aggressive will rub when lower the car. for my front its 8.5 ET+35. for the rear, I know TomTing its on BBS RGT 19'x9.5 ET25, flush tight with KWV2. rub or not, u better PM him to ask.
generally, 8.5 width ET35 for front and 9.5 width ET30 for rear its very safe lo. lower kow kow also clear fender pretty nicely. its all depend how much sacrifices you willing to accept, in the US, ppl even take out the sound protector on the rear wheel arch to lower the car to get that slammed look.
COMO: you're changing to what wheels?

Re: So u think u can Volk ME?
anything its possible, and nothing its wrong. as long as you can accept. e.g. yourself can fit on 3-series //M offsets on a 5-series knowing its not optimum but u take it that it can be compromise by adding spacer to achieve what you want.
i've learned from Jack and others, it is good to choose an offsets that its optimum/recommended for your car. its more towards bolt and go type or plug & play lo. E90 & E92 should be similar, most difference its +2 or +3 for front and rear.

Re: So u think u can Volk ME?
sluggish or not, i'm not sure, cos never really driving with stock for long enuff to tell. got myself upgrade from 16" to 18" the nxt hour I drove out of PML. anyway i never expect any pulling factor to come from a stock 320i. all i know its if i want power, I'll go DS or even drop 1 shift to get the rev I want. i'll be in pretty good hand if I'm on 3500rpm and above, the drives its smooth.
I think going into large wheel size, the build, weight and strength its important factor to concern. even recently tires materials and weight plays a big part of the set up.
what 19" using currently?

Re: So u think u can Volk ME?
COMO
For E90...I think it's possible to max it out there and dial ard -2deg camber.
And when u want to combine the front +30 with the rear, I strongly suggest you get +25 or +27 for the rear ( 9.5J for eg ), and roll your fenders..
Shud be super flushed and handling is good too as u hv wider front track.
Normally the rule of thumb is this..from factory set ups, u can go up to betwen 5-7mm +/- in terms of offsets depending on your preference and of course, fittability.
And we know tht factory set ups on BMWs are always on the conservative side.
If u take example of the Volk ME for E90 fitment, +35 / +30 8.5/9.5 are fantastic...perfect I should say. U can comfortably slap on 245 / 275 tires w/o worrying bout rubbing even ur car is lowered.
u shud meet with acupunch and check it out urself.

Re: So u think u can Volk ME?
aiya terry, you better get the deep dish back...
first, the wheel color does not match your car, Mercury Silver maybe?
second, the offset is not aggressive and thus no lip at the back, look not right...kind'a funny
third, the design is too common as seen on many Oriental makes...
