Winter wheels 307 or 308

pr0gi · 10-01-2015, 06:30 AM

Thinking about buying winter wheels for my X4. I have almost decided to go for the 308s but would like to hear what's your thoughts and if you guys have pictures of both on X4. I have found a thread for the X3 but still the X4 look is more sportier and I maybe that's the reason I pref 308 to 307.

I have AEZ Yacht 18" as winter wheels - nicer and cheaper! Summer are 310:s.

I have the German made - Dezent TB, 18" for my winter setup.

Is 18 the recommended size??? I ordered my x4 with 20's and there is a huge gap... between tire and wheel-well! I kinda feel like dropping two inches will make it stand out even more..

Just a note, the gap between the tire(rubber) and wheel-well will be the same regardless of rim diameter (the overall diameter and circumference of the wheel will be almost exactly the same if you stick to BMW's tire sizes - For 18":245/50. For 19":245/45 front and 275/40 rear).
But of course, the wheel, in total, will look smaller/have more rubber with smaller rims.

I have 19" as summer setup (606's) and 18" for winter. On the etk.cc website BMW offers winter tires up to 19".

champ: some of us have installed H&R - lowering 35 mm.

Very good result, but somewhat harsh ride.

Just awaiting spring to do last improvement - the M Performance exhaust.
