Tire size recommendation

Hello,

I am interested in purchasing new rims for my 2011 528i. Not sure if it makes a difference but mine comes packaged with the sport package, not m sport. Currently has factory 18 inch rims.

The rims I am currently looking at are 19 inch 345m style. Staggered.

I messaged the seller and they told me that they would fit my car but would have a slightly aggressive look.

Will I have any problems with these rims and if not, what size tires would you guys recommend.

My f10 is alpine white and think these would look great.

Thanks!

AVOID buying those rims at all costs - they are replicas and absolutely nowhere near BMW OEM quality standards. I have successfully convinced myself two separate times to purchase an entire set of aftermarket china rims and both times there have been horrible consequences.

Get the real thing or don't bother. Or, pick from a well-known / established 3rd party aftermarket manufacturer like BBS, Avant Garde, ADV.1.

Here's a guy selling his off an xdrive model (non-staggered) - looks like they might be genuine, but always best to ask and get pics of the part # and color info on the back of the rim

$2950 used w/ tires and tpms, not a terrible price but you could probably get him down some.
