M140 - Wheel/Tire rec?

Hello all,



Proud new owner of a M140i



Unfortunately 3 out of 4 stock wheels on my car are kurbed and I just discovered its running Goodride tires (yeah not Goodyear), so my first urgency is changing things up.



Few things:

- Tire wise, I'd like to run a 245 front and rear setup.

- I'm planning to do the m4 LCA and TS

- Wheel wise, I'm fine to stay with 18's

- Forged is preferable but I'm also on a budget, so cast alternatives are kinda fine

- No spacers unless absolutely necessary. Sensitive to vibrations and even the good ones havent proven to dampen that fully.

- No fender rolling unless absolutely necessary. Nothing against it, but if possible Id like to avoid.

- Big plus is if the wheels can accomodate any BMW hub cap. Not a huge fan of stickers like on the Bolas.



I've gone through over 200 threads trying to find a wheel setup that works to no real avail.



Can anyone suggest a proven, plug and play setup, that works with all of the above?



Most wheel models I'm finding are 8x18 et45 square or 8x18 et40 square, which one is preferable with 245s?



I'm playing around with this website, and they don't even give you a 245 option on any of the wheels



Genuinenly, any help is heavily appreciated! Aftermarket wheel fitment is giving me a huge headache

Hello.

200 threads is quite many , the avail should be: you have to compromise your requirements (or should have kept the fancier cars you claim you had).

A proven, plug and play setup (spec) is this: rims, tires. Going square you need 225 tires. Apart from that, fancy wheel set up threads/posts on this forum must have been in your 200, I believe.
