06 325i sport pkg newb wheel/tire advise! Pics WANTED!

GunMetal3 · 02-04-2010, 02:00 AM

Hey guys been lurking the forum for a while now, but haven't posted much. I was really close to trading in the beemer for a c6 vette, but after looking through the wheel section I've decided to upgrade to some new shoes. I want to keep my suspension oem. Just wanted to get a few pointers before I order the new wheel/tire set. Please be specific/detailed with info. Heads up Im trying to get the best bang for the buck with this economy. Looking forward to this!!!

**Please post pictures with wheel/tire/offset's & size your are running**

1. What size wheels should I go with, 18's or 19's?
2. What is the widest tire I can run front and back if 18's or 19's?
3. What tires with good tread life and good performance? *Hankook's made decision on this one*
4. Thanks for your time in advanced!

For an E90, you can not go wrong with OEM 162's. Great looking OEM wheel, replacement tires can be had cheap in 18 inch sizes.

19's requries more expensive rubber.

Thanks for the advise! What do you guys think about TSW Snetterton's? I want something with a deep dish aggressive look. Still open to ideas PLEASE share! http://www.tswalloywheels.com/alloy_...snetterton.php

BBS is a nice but expensive wheel, Im looking to save some cash. Any recommendations for OEM or BSS replicas?

Nick3237 · 02-06-2010, 12:11 AM

you can pick up a set of linea corse wheels, they are good BBS reps. OEM, ive always liked the 162's and 195's

1. What size wheels should I go with: 18s, as light as you can get them
2. What is the widest tire I can run front and back: 225 F 255 B 325 doesn't have the power for a wider tire than that.
3. What tires with good tread life and good performance? Hankook evo v12, BS RE760

GunMetal3 · 02-07-2010, 02:52 AM

Great! Keep the info comming.

I am running VMR CSL's hyperblack

19x10 with 275 in the rear with some serious concavity...19x9 and 255 in the front

Hope those help

GunMetal3 · 02-09-2010, 01:58 AM

Thanks for the pics 3pnt wheels look sick! Where did you get them?

GunMetal3 · 02-09-2010, 02:57 PM

Kind of leaning towards the SF-71's, CSL's, or Lm's. More pics and advise is appreciated, thanks!

ALUFELGEN · 02-09-2010, 03:57 PM

SF-71 Hyberblack on E90.
