R Red_Zed Member May 31, 2012 #1 Hello Chaps, Will my set of 17" x 7" ET47 BMW winter wheels fit an E86 safely? Fitted with 205/50/17 93V Icebears currently. BMW spec'd them for a 135i so they shouldn't mis-behave too badly, but I'm not sure about fitment / handling issues? Thanks for any guidance, Mark

R Red_Zed Member Jun 2, 2012 #2 Any Z4 wheel/tyre fitment experts on here? Somebody I might be able to PM perhaps?
sars Awesome East Yorkshire Site Supporter Jun 2, 2012 #3 Yes they should, however the correct profile should be 45, so the overall diameter will be slightly bigger

R Red_Zed Member Jun 3, 2012 #4 Thanks Sars. I would have thought the difference between 225/45/17 and 205/50/17 would be negligible?

W WLH Lifer Taxsylvania Jun 4, 2012 #5 The 205/50-17 will yield a overall tire diameter of 25.1". The 225/45-17 which is the recommended 17" tire size has an overall diameter of 25" exactly. IMO the difference is negligible...
