Quick question tyre/rims size

Hi guys,

I know that there are plenty of questions like that recently however i need to know cause i cant sleep because of that I have no knowledge when it comes to wheels fitment hence there is my question for more experienced guys:

I found nice wheels and they are 18x8,5j 20ET

Now I got two options for wheels

Car: F30 320i
PilotSport4
245/40/18 4x

or
225/45/18 front
255/40/18 rear

And the question is : since wheels are only available 8,5j will they look still good on different tyres size as in option 2? Or is it better to go for staggered 245/40/18 4x
Im goin for non RFT

In this case, I'd go for the square setup. 245 is perfect tire width for 8.5" rims, the wider front tires improve the steering feel, grip and reduce the understeer. It will make the overall handling better and more fun; the possibility to exchange the wheels between the axles for even wear is a nice bonus.

Thanks for reply! I decided to go for 19" and completely different rims

225/40/19 8,5j + 255/35/19 9,5j
