Space Saver Wheel 16"

IainC · Post by **IainC** » Wed Aug 22, 2018 8:40 pm

Hi all, I am new to the site this evening and am looking for a little help. I own a 2003 2.5i Z4 which I plan driving to France in September, I am looking to get a space saver wheel as back up as don't fancy having to rely on run flat or can of foam. The wheels on the car are 16" 104 type (7Jx16 ET47) and I wondered if any 16"space saver of a 3 series or 1 series will fit this?

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciate

Iain

Yep the 16" e46 space saver will work a treat

That's a shame, but at least a 16" space-saver off an E46 shouldn't be hard to find.

I wouldn't bother looking for a 1 Series one though - my E87 123d had run-flats, and IIRC the offset on the 1 Series is different to the E85.

Good luck.

I have one in my garage. I am based in Wigan and I suppose you could collect it on your way.

Pm me for details etc, if you are interested. It is untouched and un-used. Came out of my E46 before I turned it into a track car.

You won't get a 16" over a 3.0SI brakes sadly, look for a 17" space saver

Oh, OK, thanks.

Definitely need a 17" for a 3.0Si - but E46 330is came with a 17" as the 330i (and possibly the 330d) had bigger brakes than the other E46s. So they are around.

Mine is a 17" as it is a 330 Ci that it came from...
