Anybody has a 325i with 205 tires?

RGB · 03-12-2006, 06:02 PM

I am ordering a 325i and I like the 156 rims. But it seems they come with 205 tires instead of the usual 225.

Are they adequate for the 325i? I drive rather slowly and mostly in the city.

If anyone has the 325i/205 tires, please tell me.

Style 156 wheels come with 205/55 tires from the factory. It would be a waste of rubber to put 225's on them, IMO.

We had 205/55 Conti's on for a couple of months before the winter and currently 205/55 Nokian wintertyres. The ride is good even with the sport suspension.

Very nice pics. Funny to see them in the sunny Seville at 25ºC.
Sorry, but your car seems to be a 320i = standard tires 205 size= no problem.
My problem is that I´m going to buy a 325i= standard tires 225 size, so don´t know if the 205 will be enough.

Thanks, I love winter.

325i here has 205/55 wheels as standard. I'd suggest you not to worry and take whatever comes from the factory, after all they should know better.

I'd personally consider 17" wheels though, they simply look better.

I don't think the ride quality will suffer much.
I've been thinking about getting Style 160 or 161 for the summer.
