Nowhere has been able to help me yet and i just want to know the best answers.

I have a 2006 325xi, wit stock suspension as of now.

I was thinking about putting on 18" rims what is the best aggressive width, I would like to have a decent pretty big lip as well if possible?
also
I want to have stretched tires with those rims what is the best tire?
and
What is the best offset?

it all boils down to what tire and rim combo is best for stretching on stock suspension that I can later lower with a lot of complications?

I might also lower a inch if that would help or not let me know as well

careful with Xi, maintain tire diameter front and rear, staggered width = ok, staggered Diameter = blown transfer box

I ran 19x8.5 et18 & 9.5 et32 w/ 215/35/19 & 225/35/19 on my 325iT but it was RWD so you will need about 20mm more offset in the front for this fit, rear should be the same,

so would this set up look about the same as yours? and would i still be able to drop 1'' later if I wanted with no problems?

19" 8.5 ET 35 front and 19" 9.5 ET 35 rears with 235/35/19 front rubber and 265/30/19 rear.
