8" only width for Tire Rack Bremmer BR05?

vanwag · 02-03-2011, 07:06 AM

Hi all, new guy here...

I have a '08 328i Coupe w/sport package and the 197-style 18" wheels. Bent a front and want to order a new set of similar looking rims but the Bremmer BR05's list only one width (8"). Aren't the OEM rims 8" front and 8.5" rear?

I used the Tire Rack vehicle selector and picked the "sport package" option from the menu... can I assume that all wheels it shows me will fit?

Thanks for your help!

We actually just got in a 9" wide rear version of this wheel so that you can stagger. It should be added to the site very soon.

Hey thats great! But with the 1/2" wider rear rim, can I stick with the stock 255/35-18 tire size? Any rubbing issue with 9" wide rear on a stock 328i sport susp?

Sorry that I missed this follow up question.

Yes, you can use 255/35R18 with no problem on those rear 18X9 BR05s!
