I have a 2014 328i xdrive. What's the best wheel fitment if I'm going to get air suspensions for the car and also rolling fenders?

If you did your homework, you should be able to figure this out on your own. It all depends on what size wheels, tires, offsets. But hey, if u wanna be lazy and have us do the legwork!! Thus the reason for no replies hahaha

Best is subjective. You mean biggest?

[cjacky]

Ya as in biggest you can go and i'm looking forward on doing fender rolls.

The best wheel fitment for an F30 (or any car) is OEM. If you want to look special (needs), then go hog wild with dubs, but don't expect your car to drive like BMW intended. Also, big wheels with small brakes look naff.

Wow...


20" wheels are pretty much the worst for everything on an F30. Worst comfort, worst handling (than 18" or 19" wheels), worst cost efficiency for tires (check the price difference for 19" tires vs. 20" tires).

And, in my opinion, 20" wheels look just a touch too large for the car. Obviously that is a very subjective thought, but I think 19" wheels are the sweet spot for cost/looks/comfort. There are OEM 20" wheels available, so clearly not unprecedented. Just look at the photos part of the forum, pretty much every wheel that's ever been made for F30 bolt pattern/offset has been fitted.

How wide would u go if 19"? Would u recommend stagger for xdrive?

I had the 405 wheels 20" on my 335i and they were fine no problem at all the car handle well, the one problem was only a few MFG made the tires available for 20" wheel.

Don't get me wrong, there's no problem running 20" wheels. My 328d came with 20" wheels as well. But, there's also no doubt that they are less comfortable, more expensive, and don't handle as well as comparable 19" or 18" wheels. Few people are going to take 20" wheels on an F30 to the track.

My comment was only that "Best" doesn't equal "largest."

I don't have an Xdrive car, but seeing the problems the people have I wouldn't go staggered with Xdrive. You can do it, no doubt, but I don't think the pros outweigh the cons.

I just stick with stock tire widths, it's just easier. Tires are easier to find and because of that they are usually cheaper too. I'm not sure at the front, but for sure 9.5" is easy to fit in the back. Just go to the photos section and look at different cars and see what you like and then just replicate what they did. All the info for tires sizes and wheels widths/offsets is usually there with the pic as well.

I currently run 20x9.5 with 245/30 tires in the front and 20x10.5 with 275/35 in the rear and they feel great, no complaints but I am on stock suspension. As for performance the 275/35 Michelin pilot super sport's I have on are spectacular. I owe a lot of my wins to those meaty tires.

What offset you running?? I got some 20x9 +25 for front and 20x10.5 in rear +38 still need to bore out the center whole so they will go in some more but thoughts on how they will fit??
