Please tell me if this is right

For an e46 sedan, is offset 40 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 45 in the back the guaranteed fitment for no rubbing?

Should be fine as far as I know....well, they're the exact sizes and offset I have order for my sedan, so I'm hoping so.

Let us know I'm looking to do the same.

Yes those offsets are perfectly fine if paired with the proper 225/235 front and 245/255 rear. If you are at stock height, no rubbing issues should occur on a Sedan.

Those offsets are ideal for the E46 non-M.

What if the rear is et 43? It that close enough to 45 to be ok?

2mm will not change anything

Sorry to thread jack but you guys seem to know your stuff...what if the offset was et35, same 9.5 in the rear...on a coupe...will this fit with 265/35/18 tires? Thanks!

Your asking for trouble with that one. A 265/35/18 is a tiny bit larger than the 265/30/19 referenced in the comment below. Based on that I wouldn't do it. You can probably make it fit but is it going to be worth the effort? (rolled fenders, alignment with extra negative camber, limited to tires with a rounded profile)

From this thread:

Comment #30: for what its worth, kumho spt 265/30 will not fit on a coupe with rolled fenders 19x9.5 ET35 these are nice tires for the price, but the sidewall is quite blocky.
