18's on an 09 328i?

Psyphertext · 08-14-2018, 09:55 PM

I found a nice set of 18's. My 09 328i sedan (stock) currently has 17's, 225/45/17 front and rear, no stagger that I am aware of. Will 18's fit or am I looking at a potential rub in the turn or perhaps a future fender lip roll?

Data: 18x8, 5 lug, 120mm bolt pattern.
Bolt pattern is a go, but the height and width are my concerns.

I have 18x8 enkeis on my 08. They are shod in stock e60 rubber, 245/40
they fit fine and don't rub, even when I use my e91 like a pickup truck. I don't remember the offset, but again, stock e60 specs.
they came from my brother's e61 after it was totaled.

We need tire sizes and also rim offsets do determine if you will have to worry about rubbing.

Those are Style 197’s and they originally came on 328 Coupes. I had a set on my E46 and loved them, you will be fine with them.
