dakine · 07-05-2009, 08:05 PM

I'm looking to get some 19" wheels in a staggered setup with the same dimensions as oem. everything I've searched so far is 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear. got any suggestions? thanks

Why do you want the same OEM width? The 8.5" and 9.5" give it a larger contact patch.

what's the stock set? 8.5 in the rear?

The website lists the 335i xi standards:

Tire dimensions – standard
225/45R-17
Wheel dimensions – standard
17 x 8.0

edit: Same sizes for the coupe and sedan.

The dealer cannot deny your warranty for upgrading your wheels unless the issue is caused directly by the wheels and they can prove it. But, in the event you would like to stay on the safe side I would run a non-staggered 8.5" setup.

A friend of mine works at a dealership and we checked in their system that it IS acceptable to run a staggered 9.5" rear on the E9x Xi. On the E46s it was not safe, but it is according to BMWs system for the newer Xi systems.
