Apex ARC 8 tire suggestions
Hi guys, I just bought myself the apex ARC-8 in 19x8.5 ET35 / 19x9 ET 38, what size tires should I use for my 2013 328XI (f30). The car is currently stock suspension but will be getting some KW love by summer time.
Open to all suggestions! Thanks !

In my opinion you should have bought 4 8.5x19" ET35 wheels. It is much easier with a square setup since your car has xDrive.
Square tires either 245/40-19 or 255/35-19. |

Realizing that after buying the wheels... but I figured staggered would look nice also ... I was think 235/40/19 and 265/35/19 in the rear.. would this be too aggressive?

It sounds like it would look real good... just worried about rubbing especially if I'm planning to lower the car a bit and usually carry passengers

since you're x-drive 225/255 or 235/265 are your choices based on your rim sizes. i'd go with 235/265. it'll fit fine and reduce the wheel gap. if you lower your car a lot, it should fit without rubbing (not absolutely sure). if it doesn't then adjust rear camber as necessary. worry about it when that time comes...

from what i have read, for xdrive, the diameters need to be within 1% of each other. 245/265 is 1.5% so it won't work. 225/255 or 235/265, that's it.
or you could return two of the wheels and get a square set up, so much easier and handles better than staggered. |
