new wheel question, 8" or 9" wide?

oneha1980 · 07-15-2014, 06:44 AM

Looking to get new rims for my 2011 335i xdrive. I like the staggered look but thinking about getting the squared set so i can rotate them and not worry about the difference and use the spacers in the rear. The question is, should I go with 18x8/19x8 or 18x9/19x9? Shouldn't be a problem going with 9" in the front, right?

It depends on the offset, but 9" in the front shouldn't be an issue. Just stick with 235 tires all around and you will be fine.

X2 a 9 in fine in the front but it comes down to offset. If you get a mid 30 offset you can even run a 245/35 all around as long as you arent running a Michelin tire.
