I have a set of Forgestar F14 wheels custom made for my 11' 328i, if they can go on an F30, that will make me more inclined to get an F30 in the future.

The F14 wheels do need hubcentric rings, but I don't think this is an issue, I am more concerned about the bolts fitting through the wheels. The F14s require thin wall socket to install the lugs.

And of course the offsets. My front is 18X8.5 E32, rear 18X8.5 ET26. What do you guys think?

Taller tires should not be an issue.

And one more thing, is it true that the F30 with M-Sport will have larger disc brakes even for the 328i? Is this true for the E90 also or it is new for F30?
I put my E90 VMR VB3(V703), 19x8.5 235/35R19 and 19x9.5 275/30R19 wheels and tires onto my F30 and they looked ridiculously small. The offset was really bad in the front and better in the back, but the tires looked tiny and the extra room in the wheel well was cavern-like. Admittedly, the tread was pretty well worn on the old E90 set, but still
