Fitment Advice for 06 325xi?

Hello everyone,

I have a 325xi that i got about 8 months ago, I am looking to find a setup that is a little more appealing to the eye. I have been looking around but need some help with the dimensions. Can anyone give me any advice on wheel dimensions, offsets, etc.??

thanks in advanced!!

What's UP DailyStallion? A typical setup for E9x is 18" or 19" by 8.5/9.5. Either Staggered or Squared. Trouble free offsets would be ET35 Fronts and ET33 Rears.

Please take a look at our line of wheels under the vendor section. Or you can PM us direct for any assistance you may need. Good luck!

I suggest you go with 18s
18x8.5 front
18x9.5 rear

Since you are running an XI tires should be
225/40/18
255/35/18

For a more aggressive look offset should be
Et: 30 front
Et: 25 rear

The Sonax stuff works decent, just spray it on and let it do its thing for about 10min. Then give the wheels a good wash.

Best way to keep your wheels clean is to give them a quick wash right when you see some dirt start to accumulate. You don't have to wash the whole car but grab a bucket and get to work on the wheels. The longer you leave the dirt on the hard it will be to get it off.

I don't understand the reasoning behind BMW having a staggered setup from the factory on an awd car. I've been looking for wheels and it's been a pain in the butt.

You don't have to use a staggered setup if you dont want to. You can run
18x8.5 with 225/40/18 in front and back if you want.

We typically recommend 18x8.5 ET35 in the front with a 235/40/18 tire and 18x9.5 ET33 in the rear with a 265/35/18 tire. You can also run 225/255 tires. As long as the rolling diameters are within 1% between front and rear, you will be ok.
