Need Suggestions on Bronze or Gold Rims

MTK24 · 08-01-2018, 01:37 AM

I have a 2011 e90 x drive and am looking to upgrade my rims. I am on x drive so I need to be cautious on the offset. I don't mind doing fending rolls. Currently on stock suspension

I am currently on 225/45/17 front and rear and I hate the thin tire look. I'm running 12mm spacers in front and 15mm in rear so that helps a bit.

I want to go with 245/40/18 in the front and 275/35/18 in the rear.

You can only run square set ups in awd drive cars...

Not true. You can run staggered as long as it is between -1 to 1 tire diameter difference

Other than "looks" what is your intended purpose for running a staggered setup?

For reference: AWD with Sport Package (or M-Sport Package) comes with stagger from factory.

Factory sizes: Front-225/40R18 and Rear-255/35R18

I like bronze, but it really depends on the look you're going for. What wheels are you looking at?

I have these waiting to go on my car but I have checked the fitment and they look really nice and flush with the fender. My car is black sapphire metallic with bronze rims. it looks really nice IMO.

Front: 19x8.5 ET20
Rear: 19x9.5 ET20
