I'm glad someone brought this up cuz I too am awaiting delivery of my '08 335xi and will undoubtedly put new wheels on it. From a practicality and safety standpoint I'm almost inclined to just run a 19x8.5's with 235's all the way around. Def save some dough on tires (at least as far as the rear is concerned) and can still rotate the tires.
The bad side wants the staggered setup since it just looks so nice. Let's be honest here, is there really a significant difference in performance while running staggered? Or are we talking something like another .02 lateral g's and maybe a .05 sec's faster 0-60? Cuz realistically, I'm never gonna really FEEL the difference, nor will I be in such a tight competition that I'd actually need it. Ya know?
Thomas, any word from Gary@TireRack?
