New wheels

[del_tl1000r]

Hi all. Finally took the plunge after nearly a year of looking. Have bought these and wondering what the ideal tyre size would be? My car is a stock 23i, non Msport.

They look good and it's a lot of wheel for little money.

Del they look good and looks like they have a space for the little M badges

Hi Rick. Yeah hopefully they'll look as good in the flesh. I'm hoping the gunmetal will complinent the space grey paint. I've seen the m badges for the wheels on ebay for a few quid. Should finish them off nicely. Just not sure what size of tyre to put on the rears. They're a 9.5j but I'm not sure if 255's would look stretched or if I should go to 265.

Every set of 9.5j rear ive fitted to either E85 E86 or E89 i have gone for 255 35 19 tyres , for me it works , others go 265 30 that also works .
Front i would go 235 35 19

Brill. Thanks for that I've stressed myself out the past couple of days worrying about that

Thinking of putting some of these on my 35is.

Is there any difference in brakes/wheel arches that is different about the 23 and 35 cars?

You have bigger Calipers and discs on the 35’s only, I can’t remeber the size offhand but these wheels fit no problem, Mr Wilkes and Z4M2006 had them on their 23i and 35is respectively. Lovely wheel.
