This is not entirely true. On every single thread I have to post this.

Bmw recommends their 19" wheels.

Some 18" aftermarket wheels will clear the msport brakes. It depends on the barrel and spokes. There are enough data points in the snow tire thread.

No one has tried fitting 18" bmw wheels. Those are only 7" wide. I think they are very narrow (personal taste).

I have 18s on mine and they work fine.

I agree with arciga18 that there is a lot of misinformation. Not ALL OEM BMW 18s fit so BMW takes the high road and say that none fit.

Tire Rack guarantees it will work or you don't have to buy (I assume this is because I picked them up at the depot).

Thanks for linking your thread.

This misinformation regarding 18s is getting old .

I do not quite understand tires that well.
If i go to 19 does that not mess up the rotation so now the car thinks i am doing less or more Km or does it not work that way?
thanks

It really depends on the overall circumference of the 18" tire.

Put the tire sizes into a calculator like this to tell you if there is any speedometer error.
