Noob

Well the topic says it all I am a noob to tires and rims...so many to choose from and I dont know what will fit on my 128i....I know stock my rims are the exact same size...but i would like the rear tires to be slightly wider than the front to give the car a more aggresive look. How do I know what will fit on my car w/o having any problems with rubbing and such?

Get wider wheels...

19x9.5 rear +45
19x8.5 front +40 seem to be the magic numbers

The link at the top of the page to our configurator might be a very big help to you. It's very interactive and there are a lot of options to look at.
