276 wheel type 17 inch or 18 inch
In the last 24 hours, l think l have answered my own question.
It seems the 296 are prone to cracking, and not only on RFTs.
Examining the OEM wheel options for the E89, l’ve come down on the side of 276 type wheels as a replacement. I only have to consider whether l go for 17 inch or 18 inch. Being an older gent, the look of 17 inch look perfectly fine to my eyes, and will be comfortable for sure. It means that front and rear will have the same tyre width size of 225 which is convenient.
But would the 18 inch variant offer significantly better handling? And what is the upside of having 255 rear tyre size when choosing 18 inch? Fitting a wider tyre at the rear will surely increase the road noise c.f. having 225 tyre width both front and rear.
All thoughts welcomed.
