440i m-performance winter tires

Hello everyone,
I just purchased this amazing car and looking for winter wheels and tires.
The car came with 255/35R19.
I found someone selling 245-40/18 with 18x9 offset 35 factory mags.
I would like to know if this set would fit my car. Also, my car does have m-performance brakes.

Thanks in advance!

Does your car have square or staggered wheels?

I am not sure. The tires are all the same size. How can I tell if they are staggered without removing them?

if all tires are the same size. it's "square". staggered tires have different front and rear widths and/or tire diameters. in some high performance sports, super or hyper cars, they even have different wheel diameters.

FWIW, there aren't any OEM wheels in 18x9 ET35 that was made for our F3/4 series. it may be OEM for a different series of BMW, though.

except for some Enkei and VMR, most 18" aftermarket wheels will fit over M-Performance Brakes.

18x9 ET35 with 245/40/18 will fit without issue.

The person selling them said they were from and old 550i but have a bolt pattern of 5x120 which I kind of find odd.

I just checked and they are staggered. Does that change anything?

Does your car have OEM 19" wheels? The tire size is correct for rear staggered wheels.
