Hello,

I'm currently considering trading in my f32 430ix for an f22 M240ix (the decision is made, just making sure the deal makes sense). I'll be trading in the f32 with the 20" M performance wheels I bought for summer and keeping the factory (beater) 18's with studded snow tires.

Would the wheels with 225/45 18 tires fit on the f22?

They will fit, but likely rub on the wheel well liner near the front bumper on full lock.

With a 225/45-18 tyre (compared with the standard 225/40-18 M240ix winter tyres), many winter tyres will not rub if the wheel is 18x8 ET45, but the factory wheels off an F32 should be 18x8 ET34. Also, a 225/40-18 winter tyre will likely not rub with the ET34 wheel.

Thanks for the info! Good to know that I can hang onto the spare wheels; one of the tires has a bubble and needs to be replaced anyway.

Would adding wheel spacers affect this at all?

wheel spacers affect the effective ET. If you are already at +34 and pushing it, adding let's say a 10mm spacer put you at +24. Yes it will definitely affect this and not in a good way.
