Will 16" rims fit on a 335D?

m@rk · 04-02-2010, 05:00 PM

As per the question really.

I am toying with investing in a 2nd set of wheels for my 335D E91 and probably fitting winter tyres on them ready for next year.

Looking on eBay there are loads of sets of 16" rims up for sale for sensible money and on a 320 etc I would not hesitate.

But

I seem to recall somebody mentioning that on the 335, you need a minimum of 17" rims to clear the brakes (or something like that).

Can anybody confirm or deny?

Yes, it is the brake size you have to fit around, and 17" are needed on the 330/335 cars.

I had to get 17" rims for winter tyres on the E46 330d (also 330i), so I'd be surprised if 16" would fit over the brakes on any large 6 pot E9x.
