Michelin PA4
Bridgestone LM60 (being discontinued but still selling) or LM32 (new)
Dunlop WS 4D

In toronto, you can check out Simply Tires, Joy City. Reasonably priced shops.

If you need wheels, check out BBS CH-R, approx. $3300 a set, if you have the budget for them. Otherwise, replicas would be okay but the quality is hit & miss.

Does anyone know the 18" wheel size for 535i (non-sport)? Is this correct?

Tire: 245/45 R18
Rim: 8 x 18
Offset: ET30 or ET35?
Bolt pattern: 5 x 120
Center bore: 72.6
Thread size: M14 x 1.25 ?

no problem.

I guess this is aftermarket wheels as I don't recognize this being an oem wheel with this offset.

Yes, you are correct. I'm looking at these ones:

Just make sure you run on the highway after install, the objective is to make sure there is no vibration even though it says they are hub centric, only the stock oem wheels are TRULY of that. If you have issue, then go back to the shop and ask for Road Force balancing as to reduce (not eliminate) the vibration issue.
