F22 M Sport wheel and tyre for winter

[Taozzz]

I'm looking to buy a nearly new 220d Coupe M Sport. Now I know because it's M Sport, the tyre sizes are staggered, with front 225/40 R18 (7.5J wheel) and rear 245/35 R18 (8J).

My question is, for winter, let's say I get another set of alloys and winter tyres. Do they need to be staggered as well? or can I get all 4 as 225/40 R18 (7.5J)?

Also, I'm guessing because it's M Sport, I can put 17" wheels on?

OP, I'd be surprised if you needed anything bigger than 17s on a 220d whichever trim level you have.

I'll check the sticker in the car, but looking at bmw online configurator, if you want a 220d M Sport (rather than the lowly "Sport", it'll have to be an 18" wheel. Personally, I actually like the 17" 655 wheels on a dark colour car.

Maybe you can get the 17" (on 220d M Sport) when buying new, if you specifically ask for them?
