Hey Guys

Need some advice as Im getting some conflicting information. I have a 2014 320i Sportline, and need some winters for this coming season.

I have 2 questions. I've read some post indication that a smaller tire size is better for traction. How significant of a different will it make from the 18inch stock size?...Im a little worried about sliding around this winter, but still want the car to look great.

Secondly, I have an opportunity to buy a set of style 159 wheels with 225/45/17s for a great price. The 159s are from a 2011 335i. Will these bolt on? and I know that ideally Id going with a 225/50/17, but will the 45s work or will the speedometer be way off?

Thanks in advance

Yes the E90 style 159 wheels will fit no problem, although as you noted the tires should be 50 profile. I run a set of 17 inch style 162 reps that I also used on my previous E90, In my case I did get a new set of 225/50/17 tires when I put them on my F30 though.

Don't worry about looking good in the winter. It will look like crap after one snow fall anyways lol.

If I run the 225/45/17 is there any other implications other than the speedo being off a few percent?
