166 Style Question

Post by rosskins » Wed Jan 23, 2019 4:34 pm

Hi, I am thinking about switching out my MV2s for 166 Style. The new set up would be:

Front tyre sizes 225/40/18 with R18 DUNLOP SP SPORT MAXX - rim size 8x18
Rear tyres size 245/45/18 with R18 GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 - rim size 8.5x18

The question is will the above new set up fit my 2008 3.0si roadster. Any advice greatly appreciated, thank you.

Sorry, I should also add that the 3.0si brakes, calipers, springs etc are factory and I do not use spacers.
Current: F-Type AWD V6 & M135i
Before: ZR3.0si, 525d, 325ti, 120d, A3-2.0DSG, 323T4x4, MX3-V6, 2CV, MetroVP, Mini850
Zed was fitted with: None run flats, Stubby, Cruise, Intravee, DrilledFogs, WiredCam & 326s

I'd never heard of them before, so did a quick Google and yes - they look good!

But what I found suggested they were 8.5 x 19 front and 9.5 x 19 rear wheels for the E60 5 Series? Then again it's not unusual for BMW to do more than one size and fit them to other models - or for others to make reps.

Just a thought but it would be worth checking the offset on the ones you are looking at.
Coupes because stunning!
