Just personal preference too.

That spec. is for the 408M wheel.

There is going to be just one pkg. It's the 408M with Pirelli Sotto 240 SeriesII 255/40/19. I just don't like Pirelli tires. Period. That's why I opted to shop aftermarket.

For sure, the winter set will be released by BMW Canada by late Sep.

Is this built this way to move the rears a little bit further away from the body to maintain the stance despite going to a narrower tire? If we use a higher offset and keep them further in will it effect driving stability? My dealer still has no fitment information because BMW Canada hasnt released their packages yet. Im a little worried about tire availability so Im not overly keen on waiting until BMW Canada gets their act together, but, I dont want to get a set of wheels that throws off the stability control either.
