The rear are very aggresive and you have to roll your fenders and use a rear tire that is stretched on the rear wheels. For pics, look at diesel007's car.

ok thanks!

in Italy, I can't running with 275...

I can only 225/40 19 on the front and 255/35 19 on the rear..

[diesel007]

Yeah, if you run that tire (255/30/19) you should be fine. Rolling your fenders will be required as well.

Unfortunately not, these wheels were built for the e46 M3 and as we know those things have lots a room in the rear fender wells. BBS makes the CH in 19x9.5 et 40 though, but they don't have as much concave as the 10" wheels. Also you would need 10-15mm spacers to make the 40mm offsets flush with the fenders.

When do we get to see pics? 19X10 on the rears would be awesome. 19X8.5 in the front is ideal for easier steering at low speeds. Perfeto, Buona Fortuna Senore~

but you have roll the fenders only because you have H&R? I have the standard sport suspension...and the tires are 255, not 275...

buy CH or not?

I don't want roll fenders...

Buy the CH's in 19X9.5 et40. They will fit the tires better, and you won't have to roll your fenders. Add a spacer if you prefer the wheel to be pulled out towards the fender.

Even with standard sport suspension, the 19X10 et20 wheel will require fender rolling, PLUS it will rub on the plastic part of the rear bumper in the wheel well (this part cannot be rolled.) The et20 wheels stick out FAR, and you'll probably want a bodykit with sideskirts similar to ACS to "fill in" the exposed tire with the car's body.

[davide]

i would et20 for concavity...et40 are less concave...

[diesel007]

Yes you would have to roll the fenders. BTW I have KW V2 coilovers, the H&R springs were sold to a friend of mine.

19 x 8.5 Hypersilver were 35mm et
19 x 9.5 Hypersilver were 40mm et

19 x 8.5 Hyperblack were 35mm et
19 x 9.5 Hyperblack were 45mm et

There is a DIY floating around (involving a baseball bat and heat-gun). I had mine rolled by a shop with the hub-mounted machine specific for this task for $20/wheel. You can rent the same machine from Tirerack, but for $40, I had it done by pros (Speed Concept, Portland). You can buy the rolling machine for ~$200 and sell it, as an aternative. I'm wary of any body-alteration DIY involving a baseball bat.

There is many ways to do it. A ghetto way would to get a baseball bat and lever it against the tire and push the bat down. I prefer shaving it off. If you were to roll it, make sure you to go to a pro or know what they're doing. Many a time, amateur jobs are noticeable IMO.
