winter steelies - wheel size ?

[piotrek636]

Can anyone tell me if 16" steel rims will fit the 330ci ? I seriously doubt 15"s would fit.

Those brakes don't seem to have much clearance



*beer mug smiley would go here* Thanks

16" steelies will not clear 330 brakes.

17" ones will (this is what BMW sold/sells for that car).

Exactly what Jay said. 17" is the lowest that you could go on a 330.

Well, it's the smallest steel wheel. There are certain 16" alloys that will clear.

daaamn, I'm so glad I checked before I bought some, I was already looking at some 16" steelies.

Now I think the choice is obvious, buying 4 new 17" winter tires will run me as much as a cheap winter beater !

Someone was right about this break my wallet thing ...

Works out ok as I was already considering that option

thanks everyone

I'm not sure what your budget is but If u look around, you could find a used set of steelies with rubber for around $400.

I have seen many sets but no 17's, lots of 15"s and 16", I will keep an eye out,

how many of you drive your e46'ers in the winter ?

thats a very good idea, i was lucky enough to get winter tires with my 330 so i dont have to look for a new set,..

TireRack used to sell reasonably cheap 16" alloys that would fit a 330. They were "AT Italia Type 5" or something like that. Not sure if they still sell them.
