Winter setup on 18" 189 wheels on F36 ?

too much · 04-27-2015, 11:31 PM

I have a set of 189 staggered from my E90 335i and I was wondering if I could use them to run a square winter setup on my 435GC xi with M Sport breaks.

What about a 17" style 159 square wither setup ?

Good advice is appreciated !

Thank you.

Style 189 will clear M Sport brakes.
F: 8x18" ET34
R: 8.5x18" ET37

I would recommend running slightly wider tires than stock 225/45-18 for F36, maybe 235/45-18 to avoid tire stretch on the rear wheels.

17" will not clear the calipers of M Sport brakes!
