Help! Advice needed on Upsizing

[nikleica]

Hi there,

Just suffering from itch to upsize and was looking at several used options but none seem to have the perfect OEM fit sizes..

the OEM suggests a staggered setup for the e90
18" 8J (front) 225/40
8.5J (rear) 255/35

19" 8J (front) 225/35
8.5J (rear) 255/30

the resale options currently are as follows:
18" 8J (front)
9J (rear)

19" 8.5J (both front and rear)

Question is how do I know if they fit the car without distorting the speedometer, flushed with car back and front etc? Really stupid when it comes to this...

Hope to have some tips from some of you out there. thanks!

Re: Help! Advice needed on Upsizing

went to the website but it does not really tell me if my listed options are suitable for a staggered set up (8J and 9J 18") and if the offsets that I would need for the rims (8.5J 19").... : (
perhaps i am missing something? or my understanding may be limited ..
