I've got a 2016 with staggered 19". would like to go squared for winter 18 or even 17. Any suggestion on my best options? current spec attached.

If you have blue M Sport brakes or red, yellow or orange M Performance brakes, or intend to upgrade to them, then 17" wheels are not an option since brake calipers won't fit.

18" 400M 18" x 8.0" square setup came with my F30. They're fairly available on the used market. 225/45-18 was the stock tire size. I'm running MPS4S summer tires in 245/40-18. I was considering 245/45-18 for winter size but was cautioned that they may be too wide to cut through snow properly. May go with 225/45-18 or 235/45-18. Leaning toward Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 tires right now

Hope this helps!

Exactly what I needed.
thanks!

There is a 17" option if you have the m sport calipers with 340mm front rotors:

As John said though, the 370mm rotors won't fit

I’m running 245/40-18 Michelin Pilot Alpins as my winter square set-up on my 435ix GC. I run 245/35 + 255/35 PS4S staggered on 19” 442Ms for summer. Up here in ski country I haven’t had any issues cutting through snow, and they’re great on ice and wet/cold pavement too... I found 225 to be too narrow for proper grip up front.

Sounds like I need a winter set of 18's and I'll be good. Will likely opt for the 245 version for a little more traction.

Slap a winter/ snow tires and be done with it.... I don't see snow here in southern California so what do I know....🤣😜
