Winter wheel/tyre advice

Post by Mikopop » Sun Nov 04, 2018 1:00 pm

Hi everyone

Just purchased a lovely 2009 e89 Z4.
Am looking to protect the wheels so am going to run winter alloys with winter tyres.

Long story short, will these fit the car??

I realise it's a very common question, so apologies in advance.

Thanks

One point to note with winters is it’s recommended to have a minimum of 4mm of tread for snow, any less & they become much less effective

Look up the offset & PCD of your wheels. Provided the PCD’s the same @ the offset’s within a number or 2 then you’ll be just fine

Thank you gents.
Mr Wilks, I have been through a fair bit of the forum and having noted the previous sterling advice and service you have provided I was hoping you would pick up on this post. Thank you sir for your succinct answer, I realise they won't be the prettiest but I am happy with function over form for the winters.

Many thanks
