08 335i Coupe Rim Fitting Advice Request

mikey4384 · 07-13-2011, 08:49 AM

I recently purchased an 08 335i coupe (premium package) with stock 17" rims and would like to upgrade to the 08 335i coupe sport package rims (18"). I am seeking advice and wondering if I will need to adjust anything on the car to make the rims fit (drop kit, suspension, etc.) My hope is that it is a minor upgrade and will not require any adjustments to the car. Thanks.

OEM to OEM, you'll have no issues... suspension would be personal preference...

BMW makes OEM 19" wheels for e92 (coupes) which all come standard with 17". There is no change needed what so ever. Just slap the wheels on and your good to go!!!

When you start going aftermarket and more specifically really wide after marekt, like 10in wheels then you have issues.

Thanks for the comments. I've read that it is important when purchasing used factory rims to make sure they have a TPMS sensor. Any idea how to check that if this if buying used rims?
