Much debate after searching the forum today whether or not 17s will clear the larger calipers but earlier i fitted a 8j 17inch rim with offset of 35 to the front of Z4Mroadster & it spun freely .
Tyre size 215 40 17 but could be 225 45 or 50 it just takes less room the smaller the tyre
Always good to have a back up wheel in the garage so for anyone searching for similar look for alloys off E90s , E60s or X1s :thumbsup:
 
Handy to know. How close was it to the caliper?

I have a slight scratch on one wheel. Would be much easier to put a spare on whilst sorting.

I could easily get a Rizzla paper between :oops:

It was close , 3/4mm ?
I'm gonna get it refurbed , buy a wheel bag & a small jack/wrench .
Majority of the time the boot is empty so id rather have the spare in there providing i can secure it .
Can't see mrs w wanting it on her knee while we tour Scotland though :D
 
A Momo Arrow i had left over from a shabby set of 5 i bought months ago
Not unlike a 224 if i do manage a spare set of those :oops:
