tire size simple 18" setup

Brett8187 · 09-02-2016, 12:19 PM

Hey, with discount tire direct having their labor day sale I was considering getting wheels with new tires since it is so cheap all mounted and shipped.

I have an 06 330i sedan base at the moment with 17" 225.45.17. et34? All stock

I would like to move to 18" and looking at

indicates these to be the best options. disclaimer: I do not performance drive my car and do not need to get the widest tires possible. I do not want rubbing and i hate the stretched look.
18x8 34 225/40R18 18x8.5 37 255/35R18 BMW
18x8 24 225/40R18 18x9 36 255/35R18 Alpina
18x8.5 33 225/40R18 18x8.5 33 255/35R18 Hartge

I really like the Beyeren Aviatic but the offsets only come in 15, 30, or 40. Would 18x8.5 225/40/18 30 offset front and 18x8.5 255/35/18 30 offset rear work well? Other options for Beyeren are +40, alternatively go with TSW wheels at 35

Any recommendations here?

Why are you staggering tire sizes on squared wheels?

If you want staggered tires, get staggered wheels. If you want square wheels, run squared tires.
