Does anyone know if any other BMW OEM 17" wheels (even from other models) fit the E90? I have a 330i (non-sport) coming soon, and I want to get a different set of OEM wheels. I want something a little sportier looking than the standard 330i 17" wheels. P.S. Excuse my typo in the thread title...  |

I read on here and a few other sites that if you put 18" wheels on the non-sport cars (non-lowered), it can make it look lifted higher or funny. 
Also, I wanted 17" wheels so I can stick with the all seasoned run flats. I live in a condo and wouldn't have storage for tires/wheels when needing to switch to snows for the winter.

I don't know of the xi is lower or higher than the 330i with SP.
In any event, I don't think they would look funny at all and increasing wheel size by 1" really shouldn't cause that.

This exact question with pics is addressed here
Personally I think it looks just a little off without Sports suspension but by no means awful.

P.S. Excuse my typo in the thread title... | I have an 06 E90 with standard 16" style 156, I've fitted my E90 with an 17" OEM style 156 that came from i believe a 2002 325/330ci and the rear wheel didnt come out the rear qtr panel(seriously needed a spacer). After investigation, i found that it was a 17x7.5. But i didnt thk it really mattered for the 06 156 wheels curves a little more inward towards the hub, giving it a different offset than earlier 156 models wheels, which has the spokes more flush with the rim.
If yur replacing yur 330 17" OEMs set, style 159s, let me know soon, for Im seriously considering replacing my 16" with a 330 17" OEMs (17x8).
Lets talk! soon.
