Winter rim/tire size for 135i

fshlee · 10-19-2009, 06:49 AM

Hi guys!

Anyone know the proper rim and winter tire size for 135i? Does it matter that it has that bigger caliper up front? Can I goto 17" or have to stick to 18"? Thanks!

16" will not get over the front calipers. 17" will.

See the stickied posts in the Tires forum for more info.

Some 17" wheels will, not all.

Most 1 series guys who order winter wheels/tires through us go with 18" non staggered with a 225/40 OR 35-18 all around... Seems to be there are a lot of options for winter tires in that set up too so it's great for the guys who wants to run just a performance snow tire like the Dunlop Winter 3D tires, or for the other guys who want to run a studdless Ice/Snow Tire.
