Wheel Size Help Requested

sbmin · 09-08-2011, 08:21 PM

Greetings,

I am looking for advice on what size rims to purchase for my 2008 335i with sport package. I purchased the car last December and had to immediately swap out the new BF Goodrich RE050 RFT's with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's in order to get around in the snow. I kept the original tires thinking that I could use them during warmer months. I am now ready to buy rims for these tires. Front tires are 225/40/18's, rear tires are 255/35/18's.

Rims that I'm looking at include:
- Avant Garde M310's
- VMR 701's or 710's
- Beyern Mesh or Multi

What size rims will work best with these tires (front and rear)? Thanks for your help!

18x8 front 18x9 rear will work good if you go with avant garde's. For the vmr's 18x8.5 front 18x9.5 rear will work but the tires will be very slightly stretched.

Our VMR V701/V710 are offered in the following:

18x8.5 +35/18x9.5 +33

This would work with your 225/255 tire setup and will be a direct bolt-on fitment. No modifications or aftermarket hardware is required.

Feel free to let us know if you need any other help.
