Hi,
I live in the Toronto area, more specifically Woodbridge, and i was looking to put some aftermarket rims on my 325 CI. The car is a 2002 model, and i am in need of advice. For starters, without getting too expensive, what is the biggest wheel that i can put on their now? I wanted 18" chrome rims, but wanted to go with a wider tire as well? How thick can they be?

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you

Someone on e46toronto.ca has 19", but with some fender rolling depending on the width of the rims and tires, and if it's dropped. CSL replica for a reasonable price on that site.

i have 19" on my 330... 225/265

the 265's on the rear were rubbing severely, but my car is also lowered.
I had to get the wells trimmed a bit to make them fit without adverse rubbing...

the 330 msport comes with 255's in the rear, i never had any problems with that set up...

fender rolling will help minimally with a BMW because of the thickness of the metal around the wheel well... (or so i experienced)

I'm about to shoehorn 245/275 18s on my 330Ci. I'll post what was needed to be done to make them fit...but I already know it's going to involve come cutting and bending of stuff.
