Older Style 71 Rims + My '08 E92 = ??????

Debaser · 11-08-2009, 11:48 AM

Hey guys,

Acquired these a few months ago. Was thinking of giving them a go as a winter tire set, but I'm not sure if they will fit my 2008 E92 w/Sport.

I think they were pulled off an older E46.

Does anybody have a clue?

- Style 71.
- 18x8 and 18.5x8.
- Once loaded with Michelin PS2s in the same staggered configuration as my stock tires: 225/40/18, 255/35/18.

P.S. Even if these do fit, is it true that 18" winter tires are a bad idea? I'm in Toronto, Canada and our winters can be pretty tough.

Offset is ET47 front, and ET50 rear. The OEM E9x 18" wheels are ET34 and ET37, this means they will sit 13mm further in than the E9x 18" wheels.
So you need spacers both front and rear.
