Need help with staggered setup
I have a 2007 335i believe its a sports pack as well. Bought it a bit over a year ago and saw its a staggered setup. This is my first time buying new rims and tires for it and never had a staggered setup till I got this car. I just recently learned about all this stuff so I dont wanna mess up. I was wondering if these would fit my car.
20x8 +20 | 245/35R20 [Front] 20x8 +35 | 275/30R20 [Rear] If anyone can think of a better setup or know if this is fine as a first setup Id appreciate it. |

Well as someone who has been around BMW's for 19 years now, I can say 20 inchers are a huge mistake. You'll be bending wheels, blowing out tires. Yes, they look "cool" to some but stupid to others.
Best to stick with 18's. |

I think that 20” wheels on a 3Series is a mistake, especially a sixteen year old car with questionable suspension components. The springs, struts, shocks and bushings will certainly degrade quicker with larger wheels. Besides, I cannot image the tires required to fit under the car, it would give “stretched” a new meaning.

Those will probably fit but will be tight. Agreed with what the others said though, stick with 19 at the most. Apex has a great guide on wheel fitments and offsets for these cars.

Agreed with others 20" wheels on an E90 is a HUGE MISTAKE. I have HRE 19s and even that size makes the ride pretty rough.
also, please don't tell me they are chrome 20s. |
