Advice required on tyre sizing please

Post by tiglon » Wed Mar 02, 2022 10:51 pm

P.s. for 10.5 inch wheel 275 or 285 would both be fine. I have 10 inch at the back (that's what she said) and 265 is on the smaller side for them, switching to 275 tomorrow.

But, when I was looking for new wheels I couldn't find a 666m in 19", I don't think they do them?

Why do you need to s**t in this forum and act like a t**t?
It's what I do!
I call it a sense of humour, you should try getting one. Amazon probably sell them. :thumbsup:
Nope. I'm fully paid up on Amazon Prime and still no sense of humour.
Willtheyfit.com is useful for calculating diameter and making sure you get the right fit. 20" seems a bit much on a Z4 to me, aesthetically, but go for it if you like it :thumbsup:
You have a sense of humour Will, don't worry! :thumbsup:

It would be comical to put a set of 20" 666Ms on an E89. Almost worth the (considerable) cost. :D
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

I was actually considering replacing the wife, but that would be far too expensive (so the lawyer tells me) :D

The Czech Golf is going next week, to be replaced with a Mazda 3. :roll:

Looking to consolidate cars TBH. Alp going, E89 also and replacing with the above. I really want an M4 comp vert, but the 440i makes more sense. Looking at options (again) :D
You can’t sell the e89, it’s like the hotel California here…

I don't think there is a rule that you have to own a Z4. You ain't getting rid of me that easily :lol:
