i noticed some 335i coming with 255 wide on the rear
i got 225/45/18 for all the 4 tires.

i'd like to install wider rear tires.



is it possible on my stock wheels?
or i must buy new wheels?

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.

no , it's not Xdrive

it's very confusing , can't find any info

[m2michael23]

Is there anyway that you can return 2 of your tires in exchange for the 255?

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 talked, if you take the car on a standard condition!! But, obviously you can buy a optional set of wheels...

You can mount 245s on those style 397s.

245/45?

it will feet ok ?
without noise from the fenders ?

[pelo911]

M3 competition package wheels are my favorite:



can feet?

335i M-Sport model have more space on the rear because it's coming with body kit or same space as my car?

[pelo911]

BMW OEM wheels
Morr
AluFelgen Wheels
vmr wheels

Don't forget to add HRE to this list - forged, high quality and cost a fortune!

Except for the xdrive? Can someone clarify this?

[pelo911]

someone can direct me for some online stores that sell wheels for F30?
or tell me the price range ?

Morr are beautiful , but if they cost too much , it's not for me

I think Morr and HRE are about the same price at ~$3800 a set (19") depending on finish options +/- $100. A bit cheaper than your $2k per tire fear but still not exactly cheap.

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.

i wrote that i don't want to spend $2K per wheel (8K for set)
i think it's too much , it's not a Porsche or Ferrari

what brand are you recommend that not cost so much ? around 4K for set , top

I think any you listed in your post above would run you $4k or less for the set (that was my point). It's all about your personal taste more than anything. They all have their designs but most can be finished in a variety of ways and are light weight. Obviously your $1500 set won't be quite as 'high tech' as your $4k set but it's all about what you want.

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.
