Will the 18x9.5 +35 fit okay on the back of an F30 340i? Assuming a tire size of 275/35/18? Usually I see more around the +45 commonly used for the rear.

I am going to be getting new summer rims as I slapped my winter tires on my stock OEM rims. I am really starting to like the look of an 18” wheel. Is it just me or is the sidewalk noticeably thicker? I would image that the ride would be a little more conforming from a comfort standpoint as well? And the overall cost would be less for both rims and tires!
What would be the best setup with your SM-10 wheel on a 2016 340 Xi. I will be lowered on Dinan Springs. I want a flush fitment with no rubbing or needing to roll fenders. Thanks! |

I am looking at getting some ARC-8 19" for my Mineral Gray Metallic F32 iX. Can't decide what colour I should get - Hyper Silver, Anthracite, or Satin Black. I wish there was bronze for the 19". Anyone got some pictures or recommendations please?
I am also torn between the decision of staying 225/340-19 & 255/35-19 or going square with 255/35-19. Suggestions? Thanks!

Satin Black on Mineral Grey: Hyper Silver on Mineral Grey Anthracite photos are posted above with the SM-10s wheels, we don't have any with ARC-8s just yet. As far as square vs. staggered, it ultimately comes down to how you plan to use the car. A staggered setup will let you run a slightly wider tire on the rear, which can help if the car is tuned for more power. A staggered setup will also tend to induce understeer before oversteer, much like the OEM setups. A staggered setup is often preferred for aesthetic reasons as well, since it lets you fill all available space in the wheel wells. A square setup allows for proper front-to-rear tire rotation, and provides more neutral handling characteristics by using the same size tire all around. We prefer square setups for performance driving and/or track use, not only for the handling benefits, but also the increased tire life. Hope this helps!
