So 19 inch CSL Reps are actually lighter than stock 18 sport package? or is it that the RFT tires are so much heavier that the tire switch makes the weight change negligable??

All run flat tires are REALLY heavy. If you go with a 19" wheel and then go with a REGULAR tire, such as a michelin PS2 or another Bridgestone (non Run flat) the weight will distribute out even, maybe even less!

Staggered setup on 135i or not???

Does a staggered setup work on the 135i with the CSL VB3 wheels. Looking for a winter setup with 18 x 8.5 front and 18 x 9.5 rear. Was told that this is not recommended so that I can rotate the tires and not really sure what the other reason was other than not recommended.

What winter tires would you put on this setup?

Thanks.

Yeah you can do a staggered set up, that's actually what we really want to sell! The only downside is yes, you cannot rotate the tires, but that's honestly it.

Winter tires are tough, as I do not have much experience with them (since I live in sunny California ).

You might want to check tire rack with the tire sizes that we recommend, and check them out yourself, to see which ones you want. The ratings off tire rack are really reliable so you can follow what they agree with
