How many winters do you think you will use these wheels?

Guessing three? I may use them in the summer.

If you want a set of 400m, I may know a guy

What are the offsets on those? Need to get some winter rubber for my 193s (staggered).

Isnt the aspect ratio for 18"s on a F30 usually 45 as opposed to 40? I believe the blizzaks currently on my 193s are 224/40 all around but that was from my e90 and i just dealt with the incorrect size for with winter on my prior F30.

Thanks, but I bought my set from a forum member already. I have an entire garage filled with used and very slightly used wheels and tires to liquidate.

Would you please kindly post the wheel size, offset you have there? Also do you think 225/45 tires would fit the same with no issues? thanks!

The wheels are 18x8.5 et 35

Tires are 245/40/18

I was going to put 225/45/18 on them, which I knew would be stretched, and I was willing to try, but tire store refused and luckily found me 245/40/18 which I originally was looking for. I would have liked a more performance winter tire, but instead I have blizzak tractor tires, but they seem ok so far...

I think 245 is probably perfect, or even 235/45/18

The wheels look great! I was thinking of pulling the trigger on these for the upcoming summer and was wondering what you thought of the build quality of these wheels.

metallicpea · 12-07-2016, 04:17 PM

Those Blizzaks will be great especially in the worst slush and ice. I put mine on yesterday. They are on factory 17" 393s, so don't look quite as nice as your winters

So far they drive more firm than they did on my 550i, so I am happy with that. Enjoy!

So far so good. Seem good quality. Probably can't accurately comment yet. But I'm optimistic

Alas, rejoice! All is right with the world (minus the tractor tread on these tires) see pic 3

I went with blizzak 245/40/18. So I guess it worked out.

Very rarely do I laugh at people's attempt at humor and creativity on this site, but chicagoshark, your post was definitely an exception!!!!

Thanks for making me laugh
