2006 e90 330xi staggered fitment question

tbgolfer86 · 02-22-2012, 10:09 PM

Hey guys!

Just looking to find out if this staggered setup would be ok on my e90 2006 330xi.

Front: 18x8 225/40R18
Rear: 18x9.5 255/35R18

I have the model with the style 162 18" wheels, so the wheel and tire sizes are:

Front: 18x8 225/40R18
Rear: 18x8.5 255/35R18

I know the tires are the same size, but should I be worried about an inch wider wheel in the rear? Will that harm anything?

Your input is much appreciated!

The 255/35/18 on 18x9.5 is not a problem, just a slight tire stretch.

But need offsets for the new wheels to determine fitment.

ok cool. Im not quite sure the offsets but I had them mounted on my e90 330i and there were no issues with fitment so I'm assuming they will fit just fine on the xi. I was just worried about what the 18x9.5 would do to my transmission.

The wheels are TSW Nurburgring RFs. I can't find the offsets on their website.
