Hey all,

Quick question. Below is my current setup. Staggered OEM 162s with factory size conti dws tires

Size:
Front: 18x8 et34 with 225/40/18 tires
Rear: 18x8.5 et 37 with 255/35/18 tires

I am looking at buying new wheels with the specs below and keeping my current tires. Would I be able to run this setup on my 07 335xi model. Also I have a set of 12mm/18mm BMS spacers that I am thinking of adding too. Any help appreciated. Thanks again


Size:
Front: 18x8.0 et 35
Rear: 18x9.0 et 35

Hub Bore:
72.56mm

The tires will fit, me personally tho wouldn't recommend spacers on a awd car. A lot of people argue one over the other but its really your choice.

I run AG 359's, 19x9 and 19x10 with PSS 235/35 and 275/30 with no rubbing, no spacers! (hint) and feels great. ET are mid 30's. Spacers won't be needed if you get the correct ET wheel set up which I would recommend. I also Conti DWS for winter driving. Both tires are very good as far as ratings and experience. Just my daily driver so nothing special.

If you are buying new wheels, why wouldn't you get the correct offset? There is no cost difference to order a different offset.

Not every wheel comes in every offset.

Also for example in my case I bought wheels with the "correct" offset but once I got my car aligned with -2.5° front camber, I had a lot of extra fender clearance, so I got spacers to make things more flush.
