What wheel style are these? I'm looking to buy this 2014 535i xDrive M Sport but am not familiar with these wheels.

Client Advisor said they were from an M6. These look like Style 343M. Are they?

They have 245/35/20 rubber up front and 275/30/20 rubber in the rear. Staggered. Weird setup on an AWD and I realize the 20" rubber is useless in the snow (I'm in NY/NJ/PA).

To compensate, the dealer is throwing in Style 328 18" wheels (standard non-line wheels) without rubber or TPMS. My plan is to throw Blizzaks on them during the winter and keep the 20's for the spring/summer/fall. Should I ask for a different Style 18" wheel? Not too crazy about Style 328.

Those wheels are available of the 6 series, style 373

These wheels are optional on a 6 series, not M6. I hate stealerships, salesmen, and client advisors. They don't know sh-t about the vehicles they sell and represent. Good luck with your purchase, looks like a nice car.

These wheels are the Style 373 for the 6er F12: http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/373. Will fit the F10 however need thick spacers to sit flush.

For the AWD the staggered setup of 245/35/20 275/30/20 is OK and works with no problem. This is the typical one for the most European F10 with AWD, however the best rear is 285/30/20 (needs just a little bit more money) which is the closest by rolling diameter.

And finally, the wide practice in cold areas is to have 20" set for summer and 18-19" set for winter. The winter tires may be traction type for a soft winter or spiked type for ice and snow, also depending on road regulations: some countries believe, spikes destroy the road surface.

As an example, I run Michelin PSS 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 in summer, and Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 255/45/18 square (OEM Style 350) in winter. Happy with it.

This particular model was an owner's demo and has 5,000 miles on it. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't add spacers and simply threw the wheels on. How would I know if these have spacers by looking at them?

If you can put a feet between your wheel sidewall and fender - there is no spacer Looking at these wheels specs, they are F 8.5x20 ET33 and R 9.0x20 ET44. There are tons of discussions around here about flush fitments. The precise spacer's thickness depends on various factors: width and shape of the wheel's edge, applied tire width (is it square or stretched), car lowering, wheel camber, and after all the room for spacer needs to be measured. But in general, to sit flush to the fenders with square tire shoulders, your fronts may need 5 mm spacers and the rears 15-18 mm. http://www.bmpdesign.com/technical/w...el_spacers.php

Since the wheel design is so open, you should easily be able to see spacers between the wheel and brake rotor if they exist. Take a look at some of the spacers available so you know what you are looking for.

Other option is to take a wheels off...

The 18 mm Macht Schnell Competition Hubcentric spacer is added here: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6127/...81a59756_b.jpg

"m" model wheels have the "m" logo thats one way of finding out

[remmib]

Yes, those are the 373M wheels from the 6 series, but they have the same width, tire size and offset as 20" OEM F10 wheels.

The 373M is a very nice wheel on the F10, I would keep them. The width and offsets are the same as the standard F10 M Sport wheels (Style 351M). If you want a more flush fitment, you can add 10mm spacers on the front and 15mm on the rear. That setup will push the wheels out closer to your fender lips and give a more aggressive look, without any rubbing issues.
