It looks like people have done it and they fit but the rears are a bit tight and might rub on a lowered car: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88590
The fronts should have a 10-15mm spacer with longer lug bolts.



If you compare the fronts with the e90 style 162 18" wheel a style 67 would have 13mm less inner clearance so you would probably want to run a 10-13mm spacer. (note that the 225 wheels have 3mm less clearance than the 162s and fit fine)

On the rear it is the opposite where they have 13mm more inner clearance and stick out an extra 13mm compared to the 9" wide 225 wheel...


The car might look strange unless you space out the fronts to even it up.

Here is an example of someone that did it with slightly wider 9.5" et 23 wheels and the problems they had. Those would stick out about 9mm farther yet beyond what you are doing but it shows the type of problems that it causes.

Thanks for that.

Im on a stock suspension, I believe.

So I understand that I will need spacers for the front and I can only have 35/19 front and 30/19 rear tyres?

Did you forget the link for the example in last paragraph XD?
