Even though I love my first gen 340i; I'm still intrigued enough to test drive the RWD model next summer for comparison.
I'm actually not surprised to see this narrow of wheel because they seem to optimize towards the small end to reduce weight as long as it fits the target tire width

I think what is disappointing is that they didn't go with wider tires,
Except a 225 wide tire is probably the max you'd ever want to go on a 7.5" wheel - 235 would be pushing it IMO. 225 is 8.86" lol - I imagine there'd be slight play/movement in the tire but RFT's stiffer sidewall probably helps
That's what I am saying though, they could still fit the 225 so they did the narrow wheel. I wish they would have done 245 front and 265 rear like the e9x and M2.
