Not OEM....Avant Garde M355's (..20" x 8.5" in the front and 10" in the rear; offsets are really aggressive). My car is on H&R Sport springs and Bilstein B8 struts/shocks.

Trust me, there is (..depending on the wheel design). These pics might not capture it those. I think half of us are on 20's.

I agree with Sedan. If you have a 19 with a design that goes all the way out to the edge, it's harder to tell. But for the F30 body size, I think 20's look best.

Nice meetup!

Damn the F30 is getting so tempting over my E90! Msport with some performance bits and the rights rims =

Wish the high end diesel came with the double exhaust... D and I differ about 10k in taxes alone in Belgium just to put it on the road

when you say "10 for the rears, u mean the rear tire is width is bigger? if so does it stick out a lot?

where can I find these wheels online?... can't seem to find a dealer for them... 20"? how does the ride feel? I was told I should go at 19" more comfortable ride....

I plan to get the H&R Sports springs, is there a specific model? and after installing them, will my car be as low as yours or do i need to ask my mechanic to lower them... from your pic it seems just perfect.

I mean that the rear wheel is 10" wide; you will have multiple tire options depending on the width that you prefer. How far the wheel protrudes will depend on the offset, and my pictures give a pretty good indication of how it sits. Here's a [bad] photo that I took on an overcast day to illustrate how the +33 offset looks on my lowered 335i:




There will not be a noticeable difference in ride comfort between a 19" and a 20" wheel, so go with the more aesthetically pleasing 20" option for this specific wheel. Try not to overthink it. The H&R Sport springs are what you'll need. Your car will sit just as mine does.

Good looking cars there guys! Looks like a nice little meet-up. I have to admit, the 3 series looks good lowered on some nice wheels!

based on picture i think sticks out a bit too much...
where I live unfortunately the roads are pretty bad... I love the look with 20", But might stick to getting 19" for the summer...

how does this guy setup compare to yours http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=869588
