Winter wheel/tires for 440i?

vancity · 09-11-2018, 01:20 PM

Hi there,

Been reading this forum and searching.. looks like there are multiple tires size folks run with. What do folks have or recommend for a 440i M in Vancouver (ie: more rain, couple snow falls).

I'm thinking about this setup,

18" Replika Wheels R163A 5x120 72.6
18" Michelin X-Ice 225/45/18

Can I go bigger on the tires - 235?

Thanks!

That setup will work fine, OEM tire size!

How wide are the wheels, 8 or 8.5"?

You can go with 235 or even 245 tires if you like, but for snow, narrower is better.

Thanks. The wheels are 18x8.
