Spare wheel correct size ??

[ajs01]

Hi would a 115 / 90 / R16 BMW spare wheel be suitable for my 2004 z4 e85 3.0 ? Thanks in advance

Don't think a 16" will fit, it need to be at least a 17".

It’s rather small. You need that profile on a 17” wheel ideally.

Use www.willtheyfit.com to check compatibility.

And what [ref]Rockhopper[/ref] is alluding to, a 16” rim may not clear the 3.0 brake callipers.

Thanks everyone - appreciate the advice

I thought the pre-facelift 3 litre was OK with a 16" space-saver if it had standard front brakes? :?

Anyway if you want a 17" one try to find one from an E46 330i or 330d as they had bigger front brakes than other E46s. It should be a 125/80 x 17.
