e92 xi fitment

I have a 2012 328xi bagged

Was looking to get a square setup of 18x9.5 +22 wrapped in 225/35 for a stretched look.

Would this work? or any other flush/agressive fitment recommendations?

I have an 18x9.5 +23 on the rear of my e92 328xi and that fits beautifully and I'm sure that another -1 offset on yours wouldn't change that. I run a 255/35/18 on the rear and it is pushing the boundary of being stretched. Currently my rear only rubs on large dips on the freeway. I don't know if a 225 will work but for sure it will look stretched. (Little side note but really curious why you prefer stretched over a more normal look?)

Now considering a 18x9.5 +22 in the front I have serious doubts on that part. It is going to have some seriousssss poking out from the fender and look pretty bad. Not even agressive just bad. I'm sure you could combat this with some camber but even then you will have to do a lot of clearancing and headaches to get it all dialed in. I have 18x8.5 +29 in the front and just like the rear, it is pretty flush. Adding another inch to that imo would be awful.

Since you are xdrive, doing a staggered wheel setup can be a bit daunting at first but all you have to do is make sure your tire sizes are within 1% rolling diameter of each other. Just pop the sizes into a tire size calculator and boom you have your numbers. I can see that you are really going for a agressive and flush look and staggered is your only way to achive that goal.

Hop onto Apex's website and scroll down to check out the different fitment sizes they recommend for each type of category. This website is very useful and verified. Hope I was able to help you out somewhat and good luck with fitment hunting

Hey. Thanks for the reply. I like the stretched look just for stance aesthetic reasons. But thanks for the feedback I appreciate it
