My 2016 M235xi has the original Pirelli 225/40 R18 run flat tires that are getting increasingly noisy on most WA roads. I want to get a quieter ride tire so I’m thinking Of going to a non run flat tire. From what I have read I cannot go to a 17 inch wheel due to the brake size of the M235.

I'm running 17"s for my winter setup. I just went to Tire Rack. They let you know what fits your car.

Are these 18x8.5 ET40? We don't offer an 18x9 ET42 in the VS-5RS design but we have the 18x9 ET30 or 18x8.5 ET40.

Yes, that was a typo on my behalf. The post has been corrected.

No worries. They look great! I panicked for a moment wondering how a wheel size I didn't remember ended up in production without me noticing
