I have a 325xit on order with sports package and upgraded wheels -- the double spoke (Styling# 161) light-alloy wheels, 17 x 8.0 front, 17x 8.5 rear; 225/45R-17 front, 255/40R-17 rear performance performance tires. I am planning on buying a dedicated set of snows and wheels, something which I've done for all my AWD vehicles (including Volvo XC and Sienna AWD van) given the amount of snow and ice time I spend in the car. My first question is whether anyone has or is planning on purchasing snows, and if so, what wheels and tires are you using. Second, instead of purchasing the upgraded 161 wheel and tire package, I could use the standard rims (style 156 - 16" wheels) for my snows (selling the tires), and purchase a pair of 18" wheels and tires that come on the 330i sports package (style 162 - 18 inch wheels). Does anyone know whether the 325xit will accept the style 162 - 18" inch wheel, and whether there are any issues with brakes, wheel well, etc, that may prevent the use of the 162 with the car. And finally, does anyone know the price of a set of 162 with and/or without the tires that come with the 330xi performance package (225/40 R18 F and 225/35 R18 R).
