Hi

I have just bought an E86 3.0 coupe and love it.
Pity about its abilities in the snow with standard tyres!

I am in Scotland and am desperate to source a set of winters, but am bamboozled by all the wheel / tyre fitments
A nice pair of E90 wheels is available with winter tyres but I don't know if the will fit?

From their rim I get ER:30, CB72 and LK120. They are 18" alloys.

Anyone out there know?

Thanks

Dave

ET is 30
Centre bore 72
Stud spacing 5x120

I think you'll really struggle with the 30 (on the front). The rest is normal BMW fitment.
Our Z4 is very similar to the e46 3 series platform. So 90% of the time those will fit.

If you've got 18's ATM then chances are you're et47 at the front and et50 at the rear. So sticking to those sort of off-sets is better.

Check this out if you haven't already

Hi Dave, from a fellow Coupe owner!

Actually I think you may be OK.

I've got E89 wheels on mine and haven't had any issues with rubbing, although they do sit further out in the arches (which I like).

Sizes are 8J x 18 front with ET29, and 8.5J x 18 rear with 40ET. I'm running standard size tyres - 225/40 front and 255/35 rear.

Hopefully the photo will give an indication - oh, and it's on standard Sport springs by the way (as far as I know).
