Looking at new rims...

[montero1]

Want to replace my style 108s with E89 style 293. Offset on my 108's were 47-50, the style 293s are 29-40. Really dont want to have to buy any type of adapters. Thoughts?

 

[vester86]

Will fit, althoug the 29 offset on the front is pushing the limits. what tyre size do you want to use??

 

[mr wilks]

Whilst they may fit with a 215 40 tyre to avoid arch rub i can't see them sitting pretty on a E85

 

[montero1]

Crap ...I really don't want to buy another set of 108's, they seem to corrode very easily.... I like the 236's also, can you recommend anything that will fit right on my E85? I really like a lot of the E89 OEM wheels...

I had 296s (19s off a E89) on a 2.5 se
The 293s will fit no trouble mate & most likely on the 225 40s , 215 40s are just a option if you do find any chaffing
Post up some pics if you do get them for future reference , you never know , they may look ok

 

[montero1]

I think now after much looking, I want some 224's as long as they'll fit right on...or even 326's....whatcha think?

I'd ignore all you wheel fitment advises because they based on f**k knows what.

Purely based on past experience of the last 4+ years of trial & errors with a variety of wheels sized 17,18,19 on varying et & j numbers wearing different tyre brands / widths / profiles on selection of Z models using a variety of suspension set ups :?

Now onto yourself Marius :wink: this forum having a high percentage of decent members makes it that much easier to spot a cockhead & they don't come much bigger than yourself
I know a bigot when i read one & you my friend have that boxed off to perfection

You really don't do yourself any favours marius :roll:
Try some positive/useful/helpful opining perhaps? Instead of ur usual arrogant, inconsiderate and opinionated claptrap....

What a worthless post Marius !
Sometimes, when you've nothing useful to say, its best to say nothing at all - especially if you can't spell it properly :wink:

Come on Mr Wilks

How dare you question Marius?

Font of all knowledge on every subject, expert in everyone else's business..

Although you have to feel for him, despite being told he is an absolute bell end on every social media site that he posts on, he still trolls at savage level

Haha , i deliberately avoid entering any thread he posts on as his often arrogant replies make my misanthropy worse

Guys, will the 224 M rims fit? If so what size tire do I need to run?

 

[ben g]

Guys, will the 224 M rims fit? If so what size tire do I need to run?

Yes they will. Run standard tyre sizes I.e 225/40/18 and 255/35/18.

 

[montero1]

Thank you sir.

 

[montero1]

OK, So I purchased Style 325's from an '11 M version. What size tires do I need to run to keep from rubbing?

 

[vester86]

standard size on the front (225/40/18), 255/35/18 or maybe 265 or 275 on the rear depending on what you like. maybe a small spacer is needed to match the front

 

[montero1]

Thanks

 

[montero1]

Ok, so I installed my new Style 325 rims, and within 1 minute of driving, my brake, abs, and traction control lights are on...any ideas?

 

[vester86]

try the tyre pressure monitor reset knob in the lower center console (next tot he DSC button). hopefully it has something to do with the different circumfence of the wheels
