As the title says and I am looking to upgrade from the stock 18" to 19" wheels. Like to reach out to the community and get their opinion about this 19" wheel setup.


19"X8.5"+42 and goal is to have an flush setup with an aggressive look (depending on what type of wheels I decide to get).

Correct if I am wrong, the current 18" as follows: 18"X7.5"+52?

With F48 owner who are running aftermarket 19" wheels, what are your wheel specs?

I've only found 20" setup info, this seems to be more common. My 20" setup should be together in a few weeks.

Current oem is 18” x 7.5” + 51 [225/50], 19” x 8” +47 [225/45]

To keep wheel arch , wheel strut alignment and ride height as close to original For 20” calcs would say 20” x 8” + 45 [225/40].

Your 19” x 8.5” +42 would give 11.4mm (0.45”) extra poke (poke out of wheel arch) and be 1.3mm (0.05”) closer to suspension strut than oem 19” set-up.

Can't wait to see how your 20" setup turns out. Are you keeping your stock suspension or plan on upgrading the struts/springs?

I will definitely post pictures. I have H&R springs now but those will be coming out and replaced with KW V1 coils.

Thanks for the feedback... In regards to the 19x8.5"+42, that would almost as close to the OEM 19" setup. Utilizing www.willtheyfit.com and comparing to the OEM 19x8"+47 setup to the 19x8.5"+42 setup isn't much difference.

Looks like a safe bet to go with...

However, my X1 setup is with the 18x7.5"+51 and going to 19x8.5"+42 will have calculation of inner rim being 3.7mm closer to the suspension struct and the outer rim poking out 21.7mm.

What is the threshold of the inner rim being close to the suspension strut? Is 3.7mm considered acceptable/safe OR needs to be a lower value? As for poking out, I would assume 21.7mm may slightly seat a little pass flush or close to flush with the wheel and fender?

You are definitely going all out on this

here i am showing you some of my experience of 19inch wheel on f48...

BBS CHR F:8.5 ET40 245-40-19 R:9.5 ET45 275-35-19
REAR tire need to change to 255-35-19 to not hit the wheel arch...


BBS LM F/R:8.5 ET32 235-40-19


VORSTEINER VFF103 F:8.5 ET45+5mm spacer 235-40-19 R:9.5 ET46 265-35-19


I am now thinking 20inch 8.5J ET38

I personally wouldn't recommend 20". In order to match the proper diameter for the odo and speedo you would have to go with low profile tires on a 20" wheel on a heavy vehicle with less suspension travel you'll end up with a harsh ride.
I'm looking to swap my winters with a 19" 8.5 with a tire size of 245/40/19 Toyo HUP all seasons on all 4. The choices out there are rather limited: Niche: Ascari M166; Misano M116; Turin M169; Vosso M204. Fast: FC04 or Braelin BR10. Those are my choices and I will have to make a decision soon as spring is here and it's getting warmer which is bad for winter tires. Winter tires are so noisy and it will be a pleasure to drive on performance tires. Meanwhile anyone interested in a set of 4 brand new OEM 18" Run Flats with only a few hundred kms, please feel free to contact me. I'll give you a great price for all 4.

Great photos, vince1288, and I see there are different ranges of offset being used. From +32 to +45. I was recommended +42...

I'm with Xorbitman, I will stick with 19" X 8.5" wheels. Waiting on the right deal of wheels

[Ion619]

Hopefully end of April the deal for the wheels I'm looking for is still on. What you guys think of stealth gray or gun metal on my dark metallic gray x1? i was thinking of black wheel...

My 20" wheels will only be on for the summer months, and I am willing to sacrifice a little ride comfort for some better looks for the summer. You guys should really check Avant Garde out. They will do custom offsets for all their wheels and offer 19 and 20" options. Pricey but worth it for the proper fit.

proper... what color wheel are you getting for the 20"?

Brushed silver faces and silver windows. I was going to do a dark color but the blue really pops and I wanted some nice silver finished wheels to compliment how clean the car always is. Plus to be honest, I have never liked dark color wheels. Dark wheels kinda hides all the nice lines of the wheel.

With your color I would probably do a bronze or silver. But again this is just me.

It took me almost 2 months to decide on size and finish. Especially with the price of AG wheels. Hopefully my math, research and choice pays off. :fingerscrossed:

AG just emailed me today and said that one of the wheels did not pass QC for the finish. So three wheels are ready to go out. I asked them for a lead time on the one wheel. They haven't got back to me yet. But I would assume these should go out by end of the week if not early next week.
