335xd M Sport Brakes - Wheel Size?

Hi.
I own a 335xd with the 370mm M Sport Brakes.

I'll shortly be looking for some Winter Wheels. Will 18" fit or do I have to go for 19" for clearance?

All OEM 18" wheels designed for F30 will fit.

With aftermarket 18" wheels you have to check clearance.

I believe 18" wheels will fit. I'm in the same situation with 19" wheels fitted from the factory, but have just purchased a set of 18" 400M alloys (8J front, 8.5J rear) for use with winter tyres. I'll hopefully check this coming weekend that they clear the front brakes.

I'm hoping I can fit the same size tyres on the front and rear wheels (225/45x18) as there's a wider choice of winter tyres at sensible prices.

Ok. Please let me know if they fit.

Thanks

Fitted them last night and there is plenty of clearance (about 1/4") between the inside of the wheel and the caliper body, so even the thickest of wheel balance weights won't foul.

I've noticed a big improvement in ride quality moving to the 18s, but they do look small in the wheel arches! There's probably about 5000 miles life left in the tyres that came with my rims, so will run these until I get winters fitted around October/November.
