What size wheels?

Have never looked into getting some wheels but recently found a pair i was interested in, I'm driving a 2006 330i, rear is 255/35 r18 and front is 225/40 r18, just wondering what size i should look into for the m310 avante garde wheels. Any recommendations would be awesome, even about the tire size which i didn't buy.

If you're looking to upgrade your wheels, 19s will fill up the wheel well a bit more and have a more fulfilling appearance. The only downside we can think of is that you will have to seek a new set of tires. We also carry a similar style to the m310 in a 19" staggered set called UP720 with outstanding pricing. Here's a photo of our UP720. Let us know what you think or if you have any questions at all.

I definitely love the look, but i want to stay in a similar area that i am without having to touch the tires, would you recommend 18x8 all around or 18x8 front 18x9 rear, i know it's not a huge difference but i'm new in the wheels area so not sure how it would affect it

With 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 tyres you can easily go with 8.5 and 9.5 setup and if go with vendor recommend setup then offset around 30-35 for trouble free setup. In my opinion E90 pre-lci would look really nice with 18x8.5 et20 front and 18x9.5 et20 rear with your tyre sizes, but there is tiny change that rear fenders need to be rolled. Especially if you are lowered.

You could even do 18x10 rear with 255/35/18, but it will start to have some stretch, but just for example 18x8.5 et15 front 18x10 et17 rear 225/40/18 and 255/35/18. This would require fender work and needs to be lowered to look good.

As far as those AG M310 wheels, 18x8 et35 and 18x9 et35 would work just fine it would fit almost like factory setup only the rear would extend 8mm more. Also VMR has similar wheel also http://www.velocitymotoring.com/wheels/v710/ They offer et35 to front and et33 or et22 rear.

I really like the idea of 8.5 front and 9.5 rear, i did want a more visible stagger but not crazy enough to need changes on the fender, thanks for the recommendation

Yeah with 8.5/9.5 combo you get lots of different choices and as i said et30ish will fit without issues. Also once you can change the tyres to 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 when your old ones are worn out.
