I've just bought a 328i Sport & have unfortunately just found out that the offside rear alloy needs replacing as its been welded at some point & the wheel is now leaking air (its the standard 17 inch split rim). I understand that the rear has slightly wider wheels than the front but I can't find the sizes anywhere. Does anyone know the difference between the rear & front ? or is it just the tyre size that is different ? Cheers for any help

Fronts are 225/45/17 and rears are 245/40/17. Wheel width size 7.5in for the fronts and 8.5in for the rears. Thats if the car has the staggered set-up, if it doesn't then it will be 7.5 all round.

(Are we talking E36 here?)

I thought it's only the M3 Evo which has staggered wheel sizes?

Hi, yes it is E36. Its not an M3 but I'm pretty sure it is staggered
