Style 220 M3 Wheel Fitment on 335Xi

pedro2u · 03-19-2019, 08:49 AM

Looking for a wheel change from my style 185's (17" RFT's) and just came across a set of 19" M style 220 wheels off a 2011 M3 locally on Craigslist. I was really looking for 18's, but these look great in the pictures and look a lot like the 135 M style wheels on my ZHP

The 220's are: Front 19x8.5 ET 29/ Rear 19x9.5 ET 23

I've been reading that suggested offset is Front wheels: 19 x 8.5 ET 35, Rear wheels: 19 x 9.5 ET 33

My car is a bone stock 2008 335Xi Coupe

Anyone know if these offsets will cause fitment issues?
If those wheels are OK, what size tire is recommended that won't rub?

Will fit lovely

just got to get the right tires sizes. Think 255/35 or 265/30 on rear but can't remember off hand.

Thanks. Next question...... I'm seeing comments that BMW recommends an AWD 335Xi should keep the wheel diameters within 1% back to front. Assuming that comment was true:

The tire recommendations I'm seeing are:

F: 235/35/19
R: 265/30/19

and with the M3 wheels:

F: 19x8.5 ET 29
R: 19x9.5 ET 23

The wheel offset calculator in this forum (thanks BimmerPost.com) says the wheel diameter difference is -0.857%, so just below the 1%

Anyone run this without interference (or rolling fenders) on the E92 335Xi (or issues with the AWD)?

Just don't want to spend $2000 on wheels and tires to find out these aren't going to fit a stock 2008 E92 335Xi

I don't know about the xi, but on rwd the rears don't fit unless the fender is rolled and/or the fender is pulled. They will also stick out. Some people like that look and others don't. I see you have a 08 I think those have a few more mm of room in the rear.
Search this has been discussed a lot before.

Just picked up the M3 wheels style 220 from the guy on Craigslist and tried on the new shoes.

Got lucky in that the worn out tires that are mounted on them are just the size suggested for fitment

F: 235/35/19
R: 265/30/19

Bone stock set up with lots of clearance in front to the fender. I was most worried about the ET 23 in the rear but it looks pretty much flush with plenty of clearance. One happy camper here
