[QUOTE="GHS, post: 220945, member: 6956"] Thanks to all for your helpful commments. Not really comfortable with using spacers as I've heard some horror stories about their unreliability at high speeds. I paid my share of the road tax and highway tolls, so most of the time I like to fully utilize our beloved highways to stretch my Bimmer's legs ;) Plus, the sight of a car's behind with wide tyres really turns me on! :p But yeah I'll have to live with the loss of acceleration and maybe even harsher ride (I'm already on Eibach Pro-Kits now) if I do go with 19" (and 18" to a certain degree as well). Btw, an offset of ET34 front and ET30 rear => meaning that the rear sticks out more than the front? If I'm not mistaken, the OEM 18" E90 wheels (e.g. style 162) has an offset of ET34 front and ET37 rear. The OEM 19" E90 wheels (e.g. style 199) has an offset of ET37 front and ET39 rear. Any idea why BMW uses such different offsets, especially where the rear offsets are larger than the front? I have another car which I upgraded to 17" (from 15"), initially the tyres were scraping the fenders real bad due to a wrong offset, so I'm extra careful now when it comes to the rim offsets. Btw, the link below lists all the BMW OEM wheels: [url]http://zoouz.free.fr/e90_wh.htm[/url] Any recommendations for 18"/19" non-RFT tyres? My budget is about RM600 per piece, I'm more for handling/grip rather than mileage/comfort. Also, does Klang or Sunway have a good selection & price for E90 rims (replicas & oris)? Any particular shops to recommend? [/QUOTE]
