E90 with non sports package with 18" wheels

gpayne · 04-18-2008, 10:09 AM

Does anyone have pics or own an E90 non sports package with 18" wheels. I have an 06 325xi base model and want to upgrade from 16" 156 wheels to those type 162 18" wheels. Will this look stupid or will I come across any wheel or tire issues

you'll be fine. i have non-sport and i went from style 156 to style 189. i actually need spacers in the rear to make it flush. but idk if you having an xi changes that any or not (the staggered deal)

I have an 2006 E90 non-sport with Beyern 18" 5-spokes & Potenza 245/45-18's. I think it looks great.

I say don't do it. The car will sit too high. The best looking cars on this forum are lowered on 19s.

You may also want to consider the 189's. I suggest a 15mm spacer in the back to widen the stance a bit. Here are my shoes:
