I am currently drive a BMW F20 europe spec.
My Aftermarket wheel from Rays Engineering is as of;

https://www.rayswheels.co.jp/product...g=en&wheel=G25

Front: 18*8 offset 45.
Rear 18*9 offset 50.

I am going to buy a BMW F30 europe spec and i want to bring my current set of wheels over for reuse which i believe i need a spacer for it to fit.

Base on Rays website listed above for F30, the wheel size for rear is same which will fit but the front size and offset is different.

Front: 18*8.5 offset 35
Rear 18*9 offset 50.

Can you advise me which spacer size do i need to mount the front wheel for oem fitment?

[alohasurftoad]

the front will fit without a spacer however it will be "tucked".

if you want the front at oem use a 10mm spacer.

Thanks mate. Using offset calculator, seems like it will tucked inwards for 16mm. So wondering should I go for 10/12/15mm spacers....

[alohasurftoad]

oem front wheels are 18x8 ET34. yours is ET45. 10mm will put you at +35 12.5mm spacers at ET32.5. make sure the spacer can fit over a 12mm hub lip, though.

i believe BMS has 10mm with lip spacers that can fit and turner offers "big pad" 10mm spacers with hub extender kit or 12.5mm with lip. of course you need to get extended lugs unless you have a stud kit.

i'd just get 10mm

Does the additional 0.5inch from 8" make any differences?

i am not exactly sure of this, but in the case of G25, 18x8 +45 vs. 18x8.5 +35, both are face-1 so with a 10mm spacer the outer face of the 8" wheel will be at the same flushness as the 8.5" and the inside of the 8.5" will be a 1/2" further in than the inside of the 8".

obviously, the 8.5" can take a wider tire but there is no perceptible diff in flushness.

Alohasurftoad, what would be the oem tyre size to go onto these wheels
Front: 225/45R18
Rear: 245/40R18

Or

Front: 225/45R18
Rear: 255/40R18


Thanks.

[alohasurftoad]

225/45R18 F and 255/40R18 is oem sizes for staggered fitment on 18's...

[5hift]

you can run a square set of 19x8.5 w/ ET32, if you use 245/35/19 w/o any rubbing or need for spacers.

im currently running a square set of 18x8.5 et 32 on 245/40/18. overall diameter and width is the same as w/ 19's

on option 1 use 235/40/19, 265/35/19

on option 2 use oem size 225/45/18, 255/40/18 or 235/45/18, 265/40/18

Hey thank you sooo much for your answer so i think i lock in on a pair of rims RC7 silver rims

F 19" 8.5. Offset 33mm
R 19" 9.5. 35mm
Whats my best tires size for this set up and to make it clear it will go on a stock 2013 bmw 328i xdrive N20

235/40/19, 265/35/19, unsightly x-drive fenderwell gap reduced but rear will be poking slightly

245/35/19, 255/35/19, reduced understeer, tiny stretch on rear tires w/less poke than 265

the RC7 looks nice however since it is low-pressure cast(RC series) it is probably heavy(it looks heavy, imo). i'd consider rotary forged(flow formed) options from Rohana(RF series) or other brands if you don't want to spend as much. however if wheel(and tire) weight doesn't bother you, like it bothers me, plz disregard.

Would you say a niche targa silver concave would be a better option?

19 8.5. Offser
19 9.5. 35mm ×4

What can i fit on them if so?

you can fit the same size tires on either set

niche targa weight is 27.7 & 29.75, similar in weight to the bmw oem 19" 403m and 442m(which are narrower) and heavy(for my standards). i could not find the weight for RC7 but i would guess it would be similar. konig oversteer is a bit lighter for a cast offering.

some brands offering low to medium price rotary forged/flow formed wheels are 305Forged, VMR(FF), TSW, Beyern, Advanti, Apex, Sportline, Forgestar and many more. flow formed typically costs between $50-100 more per wheel to reduce between 5-10 lbs/wheel. as with anything else if you shop around you can find find flow formed for just slightly more than a cast, however i'm not sure if they will have a style that you'll like.

if you do not want to spend so much the RC7 or Targa will be ok enough

So i have been looking around and i found Avant Garde m510 silver to look really nice and pretty light weight... but, this offset throws me off every time.

Again, i have a 2013 bmw 328i xdrive N20

Rim size
19' 8.5front 35mm offset
9.5 rear 22mm

Can i fit these on an f30 without touching? And what kind of tires would i have to get?sizes

19x9.5 +22 will be poking too much. you need to get 19x9.5 +40 rear, 19x8.5 +35 front with 265/35/19, 235/40/19. nice fitment, no rub, no issues with x-drive.

Thank you soooo much!!! Its what i needed

Out of curiosity, would it be possible to fit 255 in the rear at all with those rims? And still loook good...? Or is it too big of a stretch?
