Et32 to rear is better choice. With those tyre sizes i don't think you can add spacers to rear. At least not without fender roll and if you can 10mm is the max, but you most likely still have rubbing issues with 10mm spacer and 275/30/19 rear even if the fenders are rolled. You could try 5mm spacer.

This is how the 19x9.5 et32 will look http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=134 This has 265/30/19 but tyres are Michelins which are closer to 275/30/19 at true width.

Front wont need spacers. Front will extend 6mm compared to that above. This basically applies to E92. Just realized that you could al so have E90 pre-lci which has little bit more room at rear.

Ok. 5mm spacer could work at rear without fender roll. Anything bigger and rubbing most likely will happen. Since you are not going to lower the car don't see the need for spacers.

This is how the the rear would look on E90. Except it's lowered and 265/30/19 tyre. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=165963

Here is the same car with 19x9.5 et32, tyre 265/30/19 and 10mm spacer test fit. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=283535

Front wont need spacers. Here is how the front looks except this one is also lowered http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...27&postcount=1

Well it doesn't change much. Except it isn't as flush at front as i was saying before. It's basically at same point as stock wheel. You could maybe add 5-10mm spacer. This one has 19x8.5 et35 which will extend 3mm more than the 19x8 et32 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...5&postcount=93

Change the front tyre to 235/35/19 it fits better to 8 inch wide wheel and 275/30/19 rear.
