Snow Tires/Wheels Sizes

[Boilers08]

Hey all,

Can anyone provide me with the range of wheel sizes recommended for snow tires on a e90 with the sports package? Driving has been a bit rough lately and I think I'm going to bite the bullet and pick some up but I have to figure out what I even can put on the car. Thanks

Tirerack.com should give you all options for your model's setup.

I have an E90 2006 330i with sports package and my winter set up for all four tires are:
Rims:17x7.5
Tires: 225/45R17

I have an '08 E90 335XI with the sport package.

I picked up the 17X7 Rial Salerno wheels +23 offset + TPMS + Winterforce 3D ROF RunFlat performance winter tires (225/45R17) from Tirerack for $1582 shipped.

When I got them, they fit but just barely. The front brakes are pretty big, so you've got to be careful. You will also need a 17MM socket and a torque bar. 110 ft. lbs. is what I set all of mine at. It was what the original wheels were at when I removed them. Swapping the wheels yourself will be pretty easy if you have a jack and the tools.

The +23 offset sits out a little further, but it hasn't been an issue with 225 tires. I have no rub at all, even in hard cornering.

Head over to tirerack and input your car. Then, click on Winter and select from those packages. They give you 17" and 18" choices.

I liked the Rial Salerno because it looked like a stock BMW wheel. I was able to swap my BMW roundels into them as well. Also, the concave look looks awesome!

Good luck on your purchase. :)
