17" OEM Wheels on the E84
Hi guys, I'm looking to downsize the wheels on my 14 35i with M Package from the 19" 225m to a 17" wheel. I know the front brakes can cause clearance issues with some wheels so I'd like input from other 35i owners that've mounted 17" wheels.
Please post your 17" wheels with specs, OEM or otherwise. Pictures are always worth 1000 words. Thanks! |

35i came with 18" or 19" rims because the brakes are fairly large. Most stock wheels have a ET30 + or -. The brakes sit pretty deep inside the barrel of the wheel. Even the rear brake is larger than the front brake on the 4. Are you looking for more sidewall or lowering it more? Look on the X1 picture /video/ media section , go to the " Official tire " thread and see MR JACK's 35 on 17s.

A good source is http://www.bmwstylewheels.com you can check the 17" made for the X1 http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/X/X1-E84 (ET34) and then check other wheels.
FWIW we have done 18" wheels for summer and winter. |

My 17" Winter setup on my 35i. The brakes are *so* close. :-) Sport Edition P4 17x7.5" 32mm offset with 225/50/17 Tires. Same diameter as stock. |

No, there are a lot. They're 335 brakes. Many people running many, many 17s as their snow setups.
