Can anyone help advise me on what size/kind of space saver I would need for a 2006 3.0si MSport please?
I'm guessing because of the bigger brakes it may need a bigger wheel?
Any help appreciated

Welcome!
Get some pics up of the beauty
Check the wheel size id imagine it’s on 18” rims, then check the offset clearance-

Hello.
You will need to post pictures of your new acquisition, or you will be about as popular as Prince Harry at William's birthday party.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Nice. To hopefully answer the question I have a 125/80R17 Continental tyre on a 4” steel BMW rim with et30. This fit on my 3.0Si coupe just fine and has the same rolling radius as a standard 225/40R18. It’s very light compared to a standard wheel/tyre combo and doesn’t take up much space in the boot.

Welcome to the madhouse.
Nice looking motor, but rather you than me cleaning those wheels.

Great to have you on the forum Ferruccio! To my taste those wheel offsets look just right.

Thanks Zebedee, what does that entail buying in layman's terms?! I'm guessing et30 is something related to offset? I'm not too clued up on wheels so any point in the right direction would be welcomed
