Do 9,5Jx19 wheels fit e89? Need help...

Hello there, it is my first post on this forum, so I’d like to welcome all of you guys: a lot od respect for knowledge and your will to share it.

I am planning to change the wheels in my 2012 e89 sdrive20i.
I found quite a good deal for Japan Racing JR28. I like the design, but I am not sure about the wheel parameters: front 8,5Jx19 et35 and rear 9,5Jx19 et35.
1. Will they fit? Especially rear wheels with wide rim and low offset/et?
2. Will following tyres be OK: 225/35 and 255/30? I know they fit 8J/9J, but will they be stretched on 8,5J/9,5J?
3. What is your overall opinion on quality of Japan Racing wheels? I know the brand rather from NFS games than real life

Thanks for all answers!

1) yes a perfect fit in terms of widths & offsets for E89s, probably struggle to better the numbers tbh
2) I wouldn't fit the above sizes as they are more suited to 8j & 9j rims.
235-35-19 & 255-35-19 would be my choices

Thanks for reply. I am a little surprised by choice of rear tyre size though. I mean 255/35 is the same width but just higher „wall” than 255/30 that fits 9J rim. Shouldn’t the tire for 9,5J rim be wider?

You could fit 265-30-19 , ive always been happy with 255-35 on 9.5j

Here are 8.5j & 9.5j 19s I had on previously owned E89
235-35-19 + 255-35-19
Offsets were et35 front et 38rear

Does not look bad at all

tyres seem a little stretched though.
What are the rims btw?
...and is the car lowered or is it standard setup?

You being serious

235-35-19 is perfect fitment for a 8.5j rim & ive had 255-35-19s on every set of 9.5j 19s (over 25-30 different wheelsets) & never once worried they looked "stretched" .

Serious. I had this impression looking at rear tyre on the first picture. Obviously mistaken
