330 XI Wheels

Looking at buying a set of 189's for my 2006 330 XI. Is the staggered wheel set up a problem?

Also curious opinion on how they will look on the e90? I have the stock 17's right now and they just don't look right. I have always liked the 162's but they are hard to find.

Thanks.

you just need to make sure the rolling diameter of the Tires is the same - then a staggered wheel set is fine

The 189's are so-so on the sedan.

The 162's rock.

I'd look for anther wheel, but most certainly one that is larger than 17".
