well... unless it's a xdrive... F30 are staggered.
it seems that you have 4 tires w/ 225/45, you definitely need 255 for the rear... but somebody has done a square set up on non-xdrive models... search it. hopefully help you a bit. buying new shoes for f30 is always a nice thing to do. |

What you have is correct from factory as mine is the same way. Those wheels are a square set up 8.0 inch all around. 225 is the tire it comes with. I too like the staggered set up which is why I bought a set of 403M wheels from a member, should be here today. My car is a 335I RWD. I also have a set of brand new General GMax going on. 225 front, 255 rear. Unfortunately you can not mount a 255 tire on a 8.0 rim. Trying to go back to the dealer is a waste of time unless you are buying a complete new set of wheels as what is on your car is the proper set up for that BMW style wheel.

I think that staggered wheels, come only with M Sport package cars, but need confirmation!
I live in Europe, so I don't know if they are differences between Europe and USA... |

No you can get staggered on sport line here in the USA as long as you spec the car that way.

I know there are options that are about half that price with the loss of some quality, but I'm sure others can chime in. $2k for a decent set shouldn't be too hard to find if you look around. There are quite a few threads here that show what people are using/looking at that could probably give you a good idea. |

Most people would tell you go with HRE or Morr if you want quality lightweight wheels (although the wait can be quite a while for either, especially Morr right now). I've only really looked at HRE and Morr honestly and both have received great reviews as far as the wheels are concerned. I think Morr and their retailers need to work on customer service and do a better job at status updates to customers, but that's another story. Can't comment on HRE or others customer service though. I'd say take a look at examples of what you like best from the list you posted (can't really go wrong with any of them) then ask opinions on a few specific sets. It's hard to say what you should get as it's so wide open and everyone has their opinion on what they like as far as looks. |
