Perelli's?

wildwestm3 · 04-01-2015, 07:15 AM

Quick question, do BMW's ever come new with Pirelli's? I just bought my wife a 2014 EB 328i xDrive with 5K miles on it, and it has 225/45/18 Pirelli's on all corners. I also thought that the tire size was 225/245 on the car stock. If it didn't come with them, I'm not sure why you would replace the stock tires at 5K miles unless the prior owner just hated the run-flats.

Also, are all of the 400M wheels staggered 8 and 8.5" wheels? It's hard to tell if the rears are in-fact wider w/o taking the wheel off and measuring them. Thanks...

Pirelli's are one of the standard run flat choices on the non staggered 3 series set up. Mine ('13 328xi) came with Pirelli Cinturato P7 225/45 R18" tires.

Great, that is what I was looking for. So, the 400M's come in non-staggard? Maybe that's how they come on the xDrive? I've not owned an xDrive, or F30 for that matter, so I'm educating myself on wheels/tires/spacers for this car. It looks good, but I don't typically stay with stock for long...

They're available either square or staggered on xDrive...18x8 all around w/ all season tires and 18x8.5 rear with performance tires.

That's the strange thing. The wheels appear to be a square setup and they are 400's...
