Hey guys!

I'm wondering what the widest wheel set up I can have on the X3 M40i.

I'm looking at Apex SM10's

18x10 ET25 F
18x11 ET44 R

I will be going with 19inch but want to make sure in-terms of width, if 11s or what's the widest rim that would fit.

Would I have any issues?

I do want to lower the car on H&R springs so the 18's don't look off.

Any ideas?

I don't know about width, but I saw a gal on here with 22's or 24's or something.

I'm running 21x9.5 +37 with 15mm spacers front and 21x10.5 +40 with 15mm spacers rear.

Why would you fit 18’s to an M40i!?

I would be running minimum 20's but preferable 21's.

18's in my opinion look way to small

I am perplexed as well. OP is asking about the biggest size but plans on going smaller than OEM.

If I had to guess, maybe he's talking about wheel width?

They certainly are wide, maybe he's going for the Carlos Fandango look:

I believe the wider rear tires are 9.5", to provide some context. I think fronts are 8"?

Yea sorry for not clarifying! I'm worried about the width. I want to have a meaty set up and will be going 19s but want 19x either 10.5 or 11. Just don't want to poke

Mainly asking about width. I'm aiming for 19s as I'm not the biggest fan of 20+ rims. Rather have meaty tires. Sorry for not clarify - will alter post
