Wide tires

I have 2018 f30 ixdrive run flat tires they are stock but after driving behind another f30 noticed the wheels look slender and should be wider to fit the body style width. Has any other drivers changed their tires to wider width and if so share the brand anything helps

what rims do you currently have? are you planning on using them or buying aftermarket?

what is the model? is it square or staggered setup? max width on 18x8 ET34 square is 245/40/18, max width for staggered 18x8ET34+18x8.5ET47 x-drive is the standard OEM sizes, 225/45/18+255/40/18

you need aftermarket if you desire wider

330. So the front tires will be a size smaller? Is this due to friction between the tire and inside wheel well? I’ve read before. I didn’t pick up what size front and size rear

245/40/189(slight bulge)+275/35/18(bulging)
235/45/18+265/40/18(slight bulge)
225/45/18+255/40/18, best width rim fitment
