Wheel and tire fitment

Tweeks802 · 02-06-2013, 09:28 PM

I have a stock 2004 325xi and I want to put 18 8.5 et+20 with 215 40 18 tires on it. Will this work? Any issues I need to know... I'm new to owning a bimmer and forums. Thanks in advance

I would not recommend that sizing, it's on the aggressive side for your car. 18x8.5 ET35 all around would be a much better fit, with 235/40/18 tires. You should not have any rubbing issues with a setup like that.

Thank you. I think that's what I'm going to do instead.

How about 225/40-18 on 18x8 ET37?

Just like the wheels in your profile pic VMR

That size will work too.

I NEVER say this, but even I think your car needs to come down a bit.

I'm not into the whole lowering thing but I think so too

Got a 05 330i just picked up some style 313 wheels, fronts are 18x8 et 34, rears are 18x8.5 et 37... Would these size tires work front - 225/40, rears - 255/35?

I don't think you'll have an issue with those wheel and tire specs.

2003 325i · 04-09-2013, 06:24 PM

confirmed. you will be fine and have similar "flushness" front and rear. Could probably do 5mm front and rear but put them on and see first.

Edit: those are reps unless treff is not up to date.
