19" wheels on e92 330xi
Is it possible to fit 19" OEM wheels on a e92 330xi?
The BMW catalogues says the 19"s aren't fior AWDs. Claus

The reason large wheels aren't recommended for AWD cars is that they assume if you bought an xi you will use it in inclement conditions. And huge, wide peformance tires don't do so well particularly in snow. And you lose A LOT of clearance in the wheel wells, which is bad when the snow piles in and you get rubbing issues.
So get a nice summer set-up, and swap back to 17"s for your winter driving.
