2014 X-Drive F30 Base Model
I've been looking for summer wheels and tires so I can use the stock 17" with my Blizzak tires on my factory 17". I've read this thread but there are so many options I want to be sure they'll fit with issues.
Will these work without rubbing and not effect odometer/speedometer? front and rear 8.5x19" 235/40 ET32-35 Or are offset a better option? 9.5x19" 275(265 or 255) /35 for the rear, I've seen discrepancies from different post that 265 or 255 are better choices? Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions. John Last edited by luftwaffe32; 02-23-2020 at 02:00 PM.. |

I have an F31 RWD, lowered, not sure by how much as the previous owner had it done, supposedly by BMW.
It came with summer 235/35R19 ET34 front 8.5"x19" and 265/30R19 ET47 rear 9.5"x19". And a worn set of square winter tyres 205/55R16 on steel rims 7"x16" ET?? that I would like to replace with 18" wheels. I bought a secondhand square set of 662 replicas 18"x8" ET30 with 245/45R18 tyres fitted, but I think they are too tall i.e. they should be 245/40R18 (or 235 or 225) as the car is lowered ? I.e. will they rub ? If the 245/45R18 don't rub then presumably I could also increase the ride height on the summer tyres, when they need replacing, to 235/40R19 & 265/35R19 to improve the ride ? I am also not so keen on the stretched look of the front tyre in particular. Last edited by jan68; 03-24-2020 at 09:41 AM.. Reason: added wheel sizes |

245/45R18 on 8 x18 fit
245/45R18 on 8 x18 fit without rubbing, but it is close on the front side of the front wheel.
See pics. of front and rear and summer rear 265/30R19 in comparison. BTW the speedo error is corrected with the 245/45R18. Last edited by jan68; 04-01-2020 at 01:52 PM.. Reason: Speedo |

Can anyone help identify what style wheels these are and which car they came in stock? Supposed to be a 9x19 and 10x19 setup. Considering this for my F34. TIA!

I've read through the entire thread and haven't seen the same example as a set of wheels I am looking at.
Does anyone know if the following would be ok for an F31 xDrive? Front: 8.5 x 19 + 245/35/19 Rear: 9.5 x 19 + 265/35/19 Is this within tolerances? |

235/40/19 + 265/35/19 would be perfectly fine. |

Interesting photos - I have 225/45R18s on my F31 Touring and just bought (on impulse on Craigslist) a set of 245/45R18 rims fitted in snow tires. I didn't notice they were 245s and not 225s like my OEM treads. When I got home it was obvious the 245's were beefier and so I mounted the front pair to see if I had clearance issues. Like in your pictures, they really fill up the wheel wells, but don't touch - at least on level, dry road. I'm worried about fitment in snow and ice when the wheel wells start filling up.

But just looking at it from the side - does sit up proud and looks like it's trying to grow up to be an X3! |

hi there
I have an F30 335i lowered by 20mm on Bilstien B8 with H&R sport springs. I'm looking to buy a set of BBS CI-R in 19". I would like to get the most concave look I can get without issues like rubbing or sticking out. I was thinking about the following setup: 19x8.5 et35 19x9.5 et40 the thing is, I have a legal limitation on tires. The widest i can install is 225 front and 255 rear. Since I dont like streched tires, I don't think there are other options. I know 225 on a 8.5 rim is a bit of a strerch, but if I go with an 8, it will be less concave, and I don't want that either. So, do you think the option I listed is OK? do you see other options? BTW, this thread is great. I read most of the messages. Big thumbs up, especially to .BMW for helping everyone. |

Hello,
Ive got F31 330d just rwd. I can buy 4 same bbs wheels for a really good price with size 8J x 20 5/120 ET36 which fits officially only for front part of car. Rear ones should be 8.5 x 20 ET47. Is it even possible to put 4x same wheels of this size without problems or should i leave it even if its really good buy ? |

Hi guys, sorry I am new to cars in general. I have a F30 318d 2013 (not a xdrive) MSport. I want to upgrade to 19 inch rims.
I found some which are 19 inch: Front: 8.5j et35 Rear: 9.5j et38 What tyres would you recommend I buy with these for best fitment? This is my first BMW so not fully sure. I don't want runflats. |

I own a 2014 F30 328I xdrive, and I wanted to make my car look more aggressive. So, I installed negative camber on the suspension system. I am very pleased with it, the car is driving better at high speed. I have Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack, size 225/45/18 for all wheels. I recommend using them. I've read more about suspension on https://low-offset.com/workshop/unde...-wheel-offset/. You can find useful information for you in order to decide about what tires to buy. A lot of different opinions, but in practice, I see that negative camber is better for my car.
