(and lets just put on record that no one on here ... including yourself... has shown any data, support, or otherwise tangible evidence to suggest that the winter performance I would be giving up will be "significant". To state that my logic, math, sources, etc are all well disregarded.... is also unfair.. especially since you have nothing to provide a concrete counter argument. While my assessment of "marginal" maybe subjective... your claim of being "retarded" is actually not true. Sometimes part of growing up is admitting when you're wrong (and knowing when you don't knwo what the F you're talking about). I don't wish anyone on here any harm... I actually hope you enjoy your car and have a safe winter (regardless of what you end up going with).

Are the wheels 9" + 10" wide or 8.5 + 9.5, just asking because of the stretch.

And here's a E90 from Finland with some of the sickest winter setup I've see in the e90.
Staggered 19" with 235/35/19 + 275/30/19.

In general, I seem to be in the minority here regarding wheels, my priorities are light weight and strength, with looks coming in a fairly distant third. This means that I get the rim diameter that's just big enough to clear good brakes, which translates to 18" on this car. I've never bought summer performance wheels (or track wheels) from TR, those have always come from specialty shops.

Car is nearing end production (just a couple more days)
Winter tire/wheel package order has been placed - finally decided on: Bridgestone blizzak LM-60 225/45 R18 all-around on black Motegi racing MR120 wheels (plus TPMs) - totalling just under $2000, +shipping/taxes. Would've liked to go down to 17's, but felt that was cutting it too close with the brakes. Wheels may have "racing" in their name, but really came down to price, $700/4 and preference, they look like snowflakes. Went with the non-RF blizzaks because performance in snow is top priority (we can literally get multiple-inches of snow an hour) - will purchase a 12v compressor kit for the trunk as a "backup"...probably a waste of money (never get used, if it does...won't be helpful), but at least makes me feel better.

Good point! Will a 17in rim fit a stock 335i caliper and rotor? I have winter wheels left from my e90 with good tires, Id like to keep using them.

Yes, 17" rims will fit the F30-335i. The recommended BMW winter tire package comes with Pirelli Sottozero II tires, 225/50HR17 mounted on Style 413 rims.

If you're that worried about it, Tire Rack shows country of origin info. Rial Salerno wheels are made in Poland for example. Now, I'm not aware of a rich tradition of wheel making in Poland so, to me, there's no upside to them being made there other than its the same continent as where the car came from.

I got it on amazon for about $30-$35, comes with inflator (plugs into car) and slime that plugs directly into the tire inflator part. much easier repair than changing your tire in the snow! unless its a complete blow out, but in that case I will just wait for AAA (for those wondering BMW roadside will only tow you to a BMW dealership where you will pay much more for a new tire...). |

Confirm?
So what is the answer to the question? Will 17s be okay for a 2013 335ix that came with 19s with M-sport brakes? My dealer says should be okay but certainly seems to be many on this thread that disagree. I need to know if I ned to send back the 17s to Tirerack and pick up 18s instead. Thanks.
