325i SPORT PKG -- Winter tire option

Robbie! · 09-24-2005, 09:39 AM

Hi,

I just bought a set of Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 winter tires from a garage sale (almost brand new) 205/55R16 ... my car came with 17" wheels so I will have to buy another set for the winter. Is it ok to drop from 17" to 16" ... will I have any problems with the car? This tire is a tirerack.com reccomended tire and size.

Thanks

Rob

I think as long as the overall diameter of the tire mounted on the wheel is the same, you'lll be okay.

well the tires are the recomended 16" tires from tirerack.com .. just my car came with 17's as oem and was wondering if it would cause a problem ..

Aret the LM-22 the runflat or non-runflat version of the tire?

that would make a difference in what wheel you can purchase.
