    hello guys,

    I'll be getting my 330I with SP soon, and was wanting to upgrade to bigger rims. Right now, tire size is 225/45/17 Front and 245/40/17 rear.

    If going to 18's, what are the recommended tire sizes?
    How about on 19's?

    Thanks!

    Upgrading to 18s or 19s

    Okay, I have a 2001 330i with Premium Package, and I have 18" MOMO SPORTS with PIRELLI P-ZEROS 225/40. After I put those on, I was happy, but there was still a gap that could be filled up a little more. So I had the car lowered 1 in. in back and 1.4 inches in front. The front has like NO gap, and the back looks soooo good. I lowered it with H&R springs. I think that the 19s will fill the gap even more. But for a smoother ride, go with the 18s. But for looks, go for the 19s. What kind of rims are you looking at? Here's a pic of my car with my friend's M3. Tell me what you think and ENJOY!!!
