Question Putting OEM tires on a wider rim ...worth it?

Hi guys,

Few days ago I purchased a 2011 X3 28i which came with 245/50/18 tires on 18x8 rims.

I really like the look of a wider tire on X3 and I was wondering if I could achieve that by putting the OEM tire (245/50/18) on a wider rim 18x9 or maybe 18x9.5.

Could someone confirm that 245s will fit on the 18x9 or 18x9.5 rim?

Also, do you think that the wider rim will change the look of the car, or I have to purchase wider tires too?

Thanks,
D.
