Looking for wheel help
Hey guys Im new here and also new to the BMW seen. I recently purchased a 06 325xi and cant stand the the wheels. I'm looking at the 19" Miro 111s and was wondering what kind of off set and rim width I should go with. I know I have to go square due to the AWD.
As far as the tire pressure sensors, can I use the ones in my OEM wheels? Sorry for the noob questions and thanks in advance for your help. |

If you have an 06 model it uses FTM rather than tpms. FTM uses data off wheel speed to determine if the pressure goes to low, so you dont need to worry about buying tpms. As for the square setup you can go staggard setup as i am AWD and have a staggard setup with no problems

What you should be looking for with a 8.5 wheel is an offset in the mid 30's like 34 or 35 and you will be perfect. The Miro 111's come in an offset of 35 in a 8.5" rim so if you just get four of those.. you'd be looking to wrap them in a 235 tire for a good fitment |

ive heard that the Miro's bent and or crack easy, or easier then a lot of other brands, i dont have any experience with them though. maybe someone with some past experience or wheel expert can chime in...just wanted to give you a heads up from what ive heard, maybe do some more research on them
