I am going to have to start looking into tires soon. I was thinking about getting 19in wheels and tires to replace the stock 18s however I think that I can only go up to 18. Is this true? It would really suck if i bought 19inch wheels and tires only to learn that they won't fit properly on the car.

Why would you think you can only go up to 18" in the first place? Of course you can go with 19" or 20". I've read here where one member actually put 21" on his but I still don't know how it fit though.

Put the new wheels on and post some pics.

If you want stock, I'm getting ready to sell my 19's. The have only 11,900 original miles on them.

cool...i was just worried. I saw on a tire site that some wheels aren't compatible with my car...and i found that odd.

What with these oem wheels. They suck hard ! And their not even cheap.. :wacko:

John516 08-05-2011 08:30 AM

I just wanted to know if they were or not. I am looking at all options. I kinda want to stay with OEM, because i had some parallels on a previous bmw and felt vibrations. Wheels were not bent or cracked according to 2 different Tire/wheel shops, but the vibration wouldn't go away. I don't want to deal with that again. lol so just trying to look into everything :thumbsup:

jg7879 08-05-2011 08:39 AM
