Can the 107s take standard tyres?

I have the 107 ellipsoid wheels and just want to check that I can fit non run flats to them? I am pretty sure that I can, but wanted to check before I buy. Have seen comments alluding to the fact that you can’t fit standard tyres to run flat wheels and wanted to make sure.

No such thing as a “run flat wheel” as fitted to a E85/6, only a run flat tyre. Everybody agrees that getting rid of the OEM Potenza runflats is the best way to improve ride, and to some extent handling, on a Z4.

Your 107s will be fine on normal tyres, and less susceptible to pothole damage.

Thought that - thanks for confirming.

You might be thinking of the very old Dunlop Denovo tyre and wheel combination.

I bet this was Google AI spitting out the idea. Modern run flats have been out for over 20 years now and people have been being rid of them for just as long.
