Will these rims size and offset fit the SH-AWD?

18"x8/ +35
18"x9/ +35
19"x8.5/ +35
19"x8.5/ +20

I'm not sure about all the offset and will the 18x9 or 19x8.5 have rubbing issue when you turning???
THANK YOU EVERYONE~~

They will all fit if you don't lower the car.

But, don't go staggered on any AWD vehicle.

What about when you turning the car? Like when you do a maximum turn to left or right, will the wheel hit anything cause of the 18"x9 wheel is wider?
THANK YOU

I searched on tirerack to get an idea of offset limit. The wheel with lowest offset listed for TL base and SH-AWD as of today is...

WedSport RE-005
19x8.5
Offset: 30mmBackspacing: 6.29"Bolt Pattern: 5-120
Rec. Tire Size: 245/40-19
Weight: 24.5lbs.

now if the wheel was 9" wide, I think that offset would be 36 or so.

This is great, since there are a lot of off-the-shelf BBS wheels with 32 offsets in 8.5". Anyone running RG-Rs or LM's yet?

I saw the WedsSport RE-005 on Tire Rack too and wondered if it was a mistake. All the other wheels seem to be limited to an offset of 40+.

There are lots of other BMW wheels with 30 or 35 offset that aren't listed for the TL, maybe its a brake clearance or hub size problem or Tire Rack hasn't tested them yet?
