i8 Wheel Options

Hi,

Just looking at the i8 wheel options and noticed that the cost options have a different j rating, 7 front 7.5 rear stock and 7.5 front and 8.5 rear cost.

Does this mean the cost options have wider tyres?

Thanks

Edited as options are actually 8.5 rear and not 8

Cannot speak for cost vs. no cost since I am in the US but there are 2 different sizes available. We only get the bigger size in the US....that's what I have been told. And since even he bigger ones are skinny, don't go for the no cost ones I suppose.....!?

Even with the "skinny" tires, I think the handling for street purposes is great. This isn't a track oriented car so I won't even go there. I'd say leave well enough alone also

Thanks all, I have been able to confirm with BMW directly (dealer didn't know hence this post) that the optional wheels are indeed wider.
