When I replace my RFT's....

I have a 2009 328i with standard 16" tires. Conti's. Not bad ride but when they wear and I the time comes to replace them, I will replace with non-RFT's.

Don't know much about tires and this is probably a stupid question to most of you but can I put a 17" tire on the rims that my 16" tires are currently on??

Well, you need a 17" wheel for a 17" tire. Can't really do it any other way.

It will be a very loose and sloppy fit not very enjoyable some would say yes ...

Tire Size Fix

Just put the tire in the dryer on high...will shrink it right up! (At least that works on my wife's tanktops...)
