Topic: Our New 330i!

[1TSX]

I agree that 18's would be the best looking. If we do get 18's...does it have to be a staggered setup, like the stock sport pkg. 18's are?

We'd be stuck with 4 brand new 17inch Bridgestone RFTs though...

Hmm... That would be a waste of perfectly good tires. Try to sell them?
You put winters on the stock rims right? 17s?

You can run a regular setup with the 18s, I think they're all the same width.

Yes, winters are on the stock 17's.

The most cost effective way is to buy crappy 17's and put the winters on those. *shrugs* But then that'd be boring.

Indeed.

You can run 18"s all the same size, no need for staggered.

What do you think your Dad will want?

Might be a good idea ... running 18" same size will have less understeer / more oversteer than a staggered setup

He doesn't want to spend too much money...

Eh, we'll see. Still got 2ish months left. In the mean time...Just drive it!

Did a winter tire change over yesterday on both cars. The 330i now has Style 162 reps, 17 inch. They look like 18's though.

Post pics!   

I'm waiting a little longer to change mine (although it's killing me, lol).

Will do, when the car is clean. We have had many compliments...most people think they are 18's, although BMW fanatics will probably see the difference right away.
