The BMW i3 takes an odd tire size. They are really tall and skinny. Tall for looks, and skinny for efficiency. As a result, there’s a much more limited selection of tires. If a person was to find wider tires and rims with the right offset, there would be more tire selection. But then the tires would stick out the sides. To resolve this, add some wider fender flairs.
So, how about it - a widebody BMW i3? Terrible idea. Probably. But still an entertaining thought.

Thereisn’t a vehicle in the world that can’t be improved with the addition of box flares.
Widebody all the things!!

I didn’t know the i3 was a joint honda/bmw project.

I was in the same pickle when looking for wheels for the Twingo. Tires are 155/70/13s. I wanted some nicer but cheap wheels and most of my local wheel shops show a blank for those specs, same problem: Either too wide or too tall
.
I’m all for wider tires and fender flares
. If you omit the whole bodykit, though. Keep it fresh and not 2003.

BMW gave the i3s wheels and tires that are an entire half inch wider than the regular i3.
It needed fender flares.
