Looking to get my wife some wheels
Ok My wife drives a 2009 (LCI) 328i xdrive and I want to put some F10 style M5 wheels on it. I know for sure I want 18" but the question I have for you guys is what kinda setup is ideal for this car? Box... Staggered? Thanks for the input in advance. Too bad my Comp wheels from my car dont fit on hers... Id be getting some new shoes.

On an E90 LCI you can run staggered or square without an issue. If you plan on rotating the tires you may want square, but some people prefer the staggered look. We recommend 18x8.5 ET35/18x9.5 ET45 or 18x8.5 ET35 square in your case. It should be a nice, easy, bolt on fitment that won't have any rubbing issues.

Worth mentioning since your wife drives an xi, you must keep the rotating diameter of all 4 tires within 1% difference if you go with a staggered setup, otherwise you will damage your transfer case.
