17's on E90?

JonnySorani · 07-21-2020, 10:51 PM

I was looking around for new wheels and was initially gonna get some wider 18's but started looking at 17 inch rims. I liked how the thicker sidewall looked on some pics I saw, and I can still get the tires wide too. Does anyone have any pics of their sedan with 17's and is their any downgrade from going to 17's from 18? [IMG]

After doing a bunch of research the setup above is what I am going to be doing.

Maybe just a welcome, albeit negligible, downgrade in price. That's all I really saw when I went from 17s up to staggered 18s.

Same as the grey car

17x9 ET30 front
17x9.5 ET35 rear

The grey one has R compound tires which make it look a little different, but with winter coming I figured I better not.

It looks good! Are you lowered? I noticed the xDrive badge but does not look like stock height with those tires. And good choice on the ARC-8 APEX wheels!
