1 series 139 style alloys - will they fit?

[ph001]

Hey all, seen some fairly local wheels and winter tyres come up for sale on fleabay and was wondering if they would bolt on the E85 no problem:

195/55/16 6.5Jx16 ET42

I know they are slightly smaller circumference than my current 19's (235 x 35 R19) but only by 3% or so. They will look shat by comparison but it doesn't matter too much for the odd snowy week here and there.

Don't think a 16inch rim will clear a Si front caliper

In terms of comparing rolling circumference and rim clash (with the strut) they would be fine:



But the 3.0si has 325mm front discs meaning the minimum wheel size you can use is 17" to clear the calipers.

Oh that’s a shame. Never mind... great info guys, thank you.
