Hi all. Finally took the plunge after nearly a year of looking. Have bought these and wondering what the ideal tyre size would be? My car is a stock 23i, non Msport.

Hi Rick. Yeah hopefully they'll look as good in the flesh. I'm hoping the gunmetal will complinent the space grey paint. I've seen the m badges for the wheels on ebay for a few quid. Should finish them off nicely. Just not sure what size of tyre to put on the rears. They're a 9.5j but I'm not sure if 255's would look stretched or if I should go to 265.

Thinking of putting some of these on my 35is.
Is there any difference in brakes/wheel arches that is different about the 23 and 35 cars?

You have bigger Calipers and discs on the 35’s only, I can’t remeber the size offhand but these wheels fit no problem, Mr Wilkes and Z4M2006 had them on their 23i and 35is respectively. Lovely wheel.step_change wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 2:21 pm Thinking of putting some of these on my 35is.
