I have a new F25 and to save some money I am going to use my 225 style 18" rims, they are non OEM but worked perfectly well in the e92. I just need to get myself some rubber, fancy these and at £488 for 4 delivered plus £20 for fitting to my local friendly fitter seems to be my most cost effective option.

The advert you link to shows 225/60/R18. These will give you a rolling circumference of 2220mm versus the BMW speced 245/50 R18 rolling circumferance of 2143mm. ie a 3.5% larger circumference and distance travelled per revolution. Also a diameter that is 1 inch greater. Will that be ok? or was that just a sample size that you linked to?
