I do like these wheels, but will never pay the new costing, around 4k seems fair .

Gumtree.

Also, that 330i individual that was parted out in September had these. Legacy scooped them up for 4k with tyres.

Yuben the correct sizes is 225/40/18 and 255/35/18

My neighbour has these wheels. He said the OEM tyre size from brand new was 245/40/18 at the rear...

That was the first thing I checked to compare mine as I have 255/35/18 which touches.

If you pay more than R4k for a decent set of 2nd hand 17" or 18" OE rims without tyres, you are paying a bit too much.

You have E90 wheels which have less offset than these, thats why 255 touches your fenders.

My drivers door has at most 17 inch rim sizes . No 18s.

Check your driver's door jam, my touring has the 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 pressure specs.
Thats because yours is a 2002 model and at that time BMW hadn't yet introduced 18" wheels to non-///M models. Mine is a 2004 build and has the door jam sticker from 16-18" pressure specs.

Thanks! That's why I was a little concerned about fitting or even looking at fitting 18s on the car. Wouldn't have even known what the correct tyre pressure should be .
And if it would have fitted correctly.

You can buy the later sticker from BMW and just stick it over the old one.


Just say you have a 2004 318i and they will order the correct sticker.
