I am thinking of getting 18" wheels for my 300ci. I bought it with the
sport package and it came with 17" wheels.

Does anyone know if there will be any problems doing this?

According to www.bmwusa.com I need 18 x 8.0 in the front and 18 x 8.5
in the rear.

Does anyone know where is a good online store to get wheels?

Thanks,

Mark

You do not have to go with a staggered set-up, and may want to consider
puttiong 18" x 8" both front and back with the same size tires front and
back also. The result will be a more balanced handling in corners.
With fatter rears you will end up pushing a bit (understeer).
