Hi,
I have a 2003 330ci M Sport which requires new tyres however i would also like some new wheels to replace the MV2's. Can i put 19"staggered on without them rubbing the arches. Would these affect the ride. Or am i better sticking with 18" staggered on of so what size could i go to 8.5 front & 9.5 rears. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks Martyn |

OK quite a few questions so will try and simplify:
You can fit 19's on and you can go staggered too. Generally you will need a highish offset so that wheels sit more inside the arch so you don't get a chance of rubbing. So for the rears 9.5 you would need around ET40-45 and the front 8.5, ET35-40 is fine. Will it cause a bad ride going to 19's? Only a little but it also depends on how heavy the wheel is as that will give you poor ride quality as will budget tyres. |
