Winter rims and Tires

I have a 2011 535xi and I am looking for help with a winter tire and wheels. Maybe some replicas. Having trouble finding correct info on what will fit.

Thanks

What size are you think about getting?
OEM sizes are 17x8 ET30 with 225/55/17 tire, or 18x8 ET30 with 245/45/18 tire, or 19x8.5 ET33 with 245/40/19 tire.

Should fit by the looks of the specs, but you need at least 17".

My advice would be to buy a used set of non-staggered OEM wheels to use as a winter set. You can easily find plenty of members here that would sell you their stock 18" wheels to use as a winter set. Personally I am running a set of non-staggered 19" 351M's as my winters, but if you get lots of snow, you might want to consider going with an 18" setup. In my opinion, 17" looks very small on the F10, even for winter.

Is there an issue with 17's not fitting the brakes?
