Help finding finding the right wheels!

Hi guys! This is my first M-sport spec car a 2016 435i xdrive GC it came from factory with big blue calipers and 20 inch rims. Where im from its not worth having thin tires like these Im wondering would 19 inch clear the calipers? I believe these are the 370 front/345 rear caliper combo. I bought some 18's but did not clear and it was a nightmare reselling them. I just was wondering if anyone went through this before I look at options. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! If you could suggest thicker tire options too I would definitely look into that thanks! [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

Some aftermarket 18's may not work with your brakes, but BMW 18" wheels definitely fit over any factory F series brakes. 19s will be fine.

Tons of 18" wheels fit over the 370/345 brakes.

I have a set of 18" Apex EC-7s for summer and BMW 400M 18"s for winter
