8.5 or 9.5 is the width of the rim in inches. Offsets are a different thing.

If budget is not an issue, got for Pilot SS.or CEC DW. The latter has slightly better threadwear rating.

Set your priority and budget first. Tyres are more important than mods like bi-xenons - they could save lives.......

Whats CEC DW? Also looking for 18" tyres to change on my 125i.

Was recommended Pilot SS and CSC5P. All above $400 for 235/40/18.

Also recommended Goodyear Efficient Grip. Anyone on this?

CEC DW = Continental Extreme Contact Dry/Wet = high performance variant to CSC3 or CSC5

Same league as RE11, AD08... Rare

Check out the ratings/reviews on www.tirerack.com

in my opinion, CSC5P is good! but noise level really high.... can almost make out every uneven detail on the road!

RE11 is quite ex right? anyway i was looking at Breyton GTS 18" ( as 19" is over budget... difference is 1400? with tires) and it doesn't come with staggered setup.. anyone used spacers for the back for staggered setup?
