Will this setup work

merkaba · 11-30-2009, 06:31 PM

I am a new BMW owner. I just bought a silver 2007 328xi and i am loving it! I am looking to purchase some summer wheels and tires to start. There are currently no modifications to the car. I really love the Breyton Race GTS Black wheels. I am not sure what my future modifications will be to the car, so i want to get recommendations on sizes and widths for my current setup. I am thinking about 18's or 19's, and from what i read i should get 8.5's in the front and 9.5's in the rear. What are your thoughts on these wheels, and what would you suggest for a tire to go with them?

What are the offsets of the wheels you are looking at? Need those to check for fender clearance
