Hi all

I'm looking at getting some winter wheels for my 2018 218D F22.


I currently have 7.5Jx18 on the front and 8Jx 18 on the rear (461m's).

My tyres are 225/40/18 on the front and 245/35/18 on the back.


Someone locally is selling a set of 397M wheels fitted with 225/40/R18 winter tyres all round (7.5Jx18 on all 4 corners).

He used them on his M240i & says they were fine.


Can anyone advise if these wheels would be ok to use on my car as winters?

Style 397s are 18x8 and rarely 18x8.5 (rarely crop up):

You'll be fine with them with 225/40/18 tyres all round

They're the wheels I use on my F31 as winters with 235/45/18 Goodyear all season tyres
