17" Rial Salernos back in stock in South Bend, IN!

FYI, we've recieved our shipment of 17X8 Rial Salerno wheels for 335i. If any of you were still needing 17" winter setups, they're finally back in stock !



As a reminder, I have BMW caps available to fit these wheels as a $6 per cap option, just refer to "Gary/Addcaps6" as your previous contact at the end of the order. Otherwise, just "Gary/E90Post".

Hi Gary, I've been thinking of getting a set of these with winter or all-season tires to see me through the rest of this winter and future winters. The 335i I'm waiting for has the sport package with the staggered 18' wheels. Could I put the 17x8 wheels (what tire size needed?) on both the front and the back or do I need to still have a staggered configuration with 17x8 wheels up front and 17x8.5 wheels at back?

I ordered these a few weeks back and they shipped today. Gary set me up with the following tires on all 4 corners:

225/45HR17 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 RFT Runflat

We'd run 225/45R17 all around on the 17X8 (this wheel only comes in 17X8)

Thanks. What tire size would you recommend for an all-season tire in a /40 profile on that wheel?

Also, if I put the 8's on the back do I need to use a spacer or anything so it sticks out as far as the stock 8.5 wheels? Sorry, I'm new to this.

Sorry to hear that. When do expect those wheels to come back in stock again? Also, could you answer my question anyway as it will probably apply to any wheel I buy from you.

Not likely until Spring, sorry.

The correct size would be 225/45R17. You could use 235/40R17 on the same wheel, but that size is a bit shorter in height so it might look a bit odd with the extra fender well gap. Top A/S tires currently would include the Bridgestone Re960A/S, Goodyear F1 A/S, and Yokohama Advan S4.
