Wheels for my E90 Saloon 55 plate

Hi all
I am new to all this and have recently acquired a E90 saloon and have the original 16'size rims. I am looking to change to 18's and was looking at the Beyern Mesh. I know they are not the best but just want to get rid of the 16's!! Was wondering if i do change to 18's, would i have to tinker with the suspension settings or do they just go in without adjusting? Help is really appreciated and many thanks in advance.

Chris

Straight swop Chris, no need for any adjustments.

Look out for wheel offsets (ET) and changes to wheel sizes from OEM, as a mixture of both could cause problems and tyre sizes (if buying with wheels).

If you're not sure, stick your query on here and someone will advise.

Thanks for the reply. Was originally looking at beyern mesh but am now also considering MV3 alloys. Am not sure whether to ditch the runflats or not for the 18 wheels. I will try to get alloys with wheels.
