19's on a non-lowered F-30?
I've currently got stock 225 45r/18's on my 2018 F30 x-drive sedan.
I want to keep my 18's as winter wheels and buy another dedicated summer set. Since I want to just swap wheels with the change of the seasons, I'm seeking out another full set of wheels. A beautiful set of 464's came up on a used marketplace. They are off an E91. Fronts: 19x8 225/40/19 ET 30 Rear: 19x9 255/35/19 ET 41 QUESTIONS: 1. Will this setup work on a 2018 F30 xdrive 2. How goofy will 19's look on a non-lowered F30? 3. What can I do to lower the vehicle to 'sufficiently close' the wheel gap on the 19's without causing problems on the 18's...while also keeping in mind that I don't want to be a snowplow (I live in snowy Canada). FWIW: I have no body work on the vehicle. Thanks |

OEM 403M and 442M are 19" wheels offered as optional on all F3/4 series including x-drive. specs for both models are 19x8 ET36 225/40/19 front, 19x8.5 ET47 255/35/19 rear. the specs of the wheels and tires you are considering are very close and will fit without issue.
swapping tire size to 235/40/19 265/35/19 would help to reduce the unsightly fenderwell gap, however lowering on springs such as eibach pro-kit is a better way to improve that appearance. |

Here you go.. Hope this helps. It took me weeks of research on 19s and tire spec. I have 2 sets of wheels.
19' 403M 19' 437M Stock xDrive M Adaptive Suspension. Wheel gap is really annoying to be honest with you. I have ordered H&R Sport Springs and should have it installed next week. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-h-and-r-...et/28832-1~hr/ Average lowering of 1.6"F and 1.5"R i think this should be fine with my set up. |

thanks! Any reason you decided on not running the same stock size on the 437m wheels?

It would be really stretched if i ran the stock set up on 437M wheels. I suggest searching other threads on here. It took me awhile to pull the trigger on 437Ms. https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...highlight=437M https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...highlight=437M |

The wheels with these specs should look fine, thanks to bigger width/more aggressive offsets definitely better than the F30 oem 19". That makes a lot for visual appearance, including filling the fender gap. A thin spacers would further improve that a bit, but a good fit.
However, not sure, what are the wheels, as I believe 464's are F10 20" - some pics? Last edited by J555; 03-30-2021 at 02:18 PM.. |

I'm actually about to install h&r sports (have them now ready to install) and some bilsteins to match this summer. Not quite sure which Bilsteins to order yet, but in the meantime this is my car on 19x8.5 et33 amd 19x9.5 etc 35 wheels. 235/35 and 265/30 for tires. I would have gotten 235/40 and 265/35 if I wasn't lowering it. No spacers either.
