I've currently got the staggered 18 x 8 / 18 x 8.5 factory sport suspension package on my 2007 coupe. I plan on doing limited autoX and track and I'm looking at going with a non staggered wheel set up. For those of you who have 18" non staggered wheels, what widths are you running and what are your thoughts? Thanks!

If your planning to run for points in a stock class, you cannot change your factory wheel size. If your not running the whole season for points, just register for a time only events for your autocrossing fix. Not trying to be an ass, just wanted to make you aware of the rules, before spending your money. There's a slight chance your local club, may have different rules, but most likely not.
To answer your wheel question, I have no idea. Sorry.

Try RealOEM.com for most of BMW's OE parts info.
You CAN run non-staggered tires on the OE staggered wheels. 225s will fit 8.5" wide rim safely.

Darth, thanks for the info, I have a lot to learn yet. I'm doing my homework now in an attempt to avoid expensive mistakes.
Hack, sounds like an easy and inexpensive solution. thanks
