Now that's a real useful post for someone looking for 17" wheels!

OP, you might check TireRack.com. And consider non-staggered wheels as there will be less understeer and you would be able to rotate the tires.

I have not experienced the understeer that Tom K. is referring to, but neither have I tracked my 128.

But having read some reviews on this - I think Tom K. is right. The staggered setup with the fatter wheels at the back is supposed to result in understeer, which seems like such a shame on a BMW. I think the reason provided for this was that BMW wanted to protect their bread and butter 3 series, as well as compete in a segment full of FWD cars.

So - try a non-staggered setup. Or - how about this - have the fatter tires at the front !!! :-)
