I think you meant to say 225/40/18 and 255/35/18
These are the stock staggered sizes.

Actually, its off a E46 M3. I checked around, and i think stock is 45 up front and 40 in the rear. I could be wrong though..

Sidewalls should be 40 up front and 35 in the rear. 45 and 40 is a bit too tall

since this thread has risen from the dead once again i wanted to ask a question ive had for a long time...now when we get staggered rims people say you cant drop the car is this true? if so what is the reason? because i have 19's staggered and i want to drop the car but im not quite sure its safe....

Just confirmed on a few places online, 18in stock m3 is 45s up front and 40s in the rear. 19s are 40s and 35s. I'll prob stick to the factory sizes for now since the wheels i picked up already has 40s in the rear.

Great setup my man!

I have 19's and am also dropped on KW V3's. IMO, the ride of the k3's feels smoother than stock did lol

Thanks for the help everybody.

I've decided to go with 235/35/19 with 19"x8.5 Rims on the front and 275/30/19 with 19"x9.5 Rims.

Opinions?

I confirm saying that. You get what you pay for and the settings on Nicks car were perfect. The ride felt better than stock while slammed.

I just bought v1's. They arrive in a couple weeks. I don't track my car and do a lot of driving for work. Do you think the ride should be good with 19's? 35s/30s?

Will 19" 8.5 ET 35 front and 19" 9.5 ET 35 rears also work for the E92 Coupe?
I have a 328xi coupe.

evill1 · 03-18-2012, 10:14 PM

Awesome news even if it is old!

reallazymofo · 07-01-2013, 10:56 AM

I have a 2013 328xi F30.
I plan on getting AG 310s.
http://avantgardewheels.com/m310.php

I plan on getting 19's. But I am not sure what width I should be getting. I am not sure if I will dropping my car in the future or not and what affects it will have on the car.

How does staggered affect xdrive if I get something like 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear? And if I lower my car in the future how does that affect this.

EDIT:
do I need to also worry about offsets and such?

10-11-2016, 03:06 PM

So I have had a lot of mixed opinions on this and need some help!
I just picked up a 2010 BMW 335xi I have a set of 3sdm's off an older car I had
Front 225/35/19 x 8.5 et35
Rear 235/35/19 x 10 et40

Is it safe to run this set up on xDrive? I've had several people say yes
but my concern is the rolling diameter I am new to this and don't quite understand it fully. Just want to make sure I will not be destroying the xDrive system???????????????

335MRod · 12-01-2016, 11:42 AM

Any one know if this works.. 19x8f 19x9 r 225/35/19 and 255/30/19

you can put any size wheels as long as the front and rear rolling diameter is within 1%. if you googled it it would've came up. you can find any wheel calculator that'll give you the measurements.

oscar7214 · 03-14-2017, 06:48 PM
