Bent rim.... what are my solutions?

So after daily driving today I get a notification that my tire is low... and of course my rim is slightly bent I don’t even know how.

It’s still keeping tire pressure at approx 24 psi but I rather not drive on it however do have to work and obviously wait for new rims.

I have 2 225/45 R18 rims ready to go... can I run those on my front with 265/30/r19s on the back with no issues?

The overall diameter is different by more than 1%. If your car is rwd, yes, if xdrive, no.

Hey man yes it’s a f30 335i

I messed up and it’s 275/30/19on the back

It’s a -1.8% difference, is that fine?

Also... my other rim is still holding air... here’s a pic is it fucked or can I drive on it ?

More than 1% diff doesn't work in an xdrive, it starts messing with the stability control computer.

We don't even know what kind of wheel. If they are oem, the rear is only 8.5 wide so max tire width is 255mm. So 265mm won't work.

Then there is the xdrive vs rwd
