Alloy wheels and tyres.

Post by bigrocketrider »

Just bought myself a very nice 2.8 Z3 wide body but it has the standard 16" wheels and tyres (225/50 16) fitted. I am looking at purchasing a staggered set of E36 17" alloys but am unsure what size tyres to fit. Could someone tell me what the standard fitment for staggered 17 alloys is please.

I've got these staggered Style 78 17 inch wheels on eBay if you're interested?

I'd take a sensible offer for them

Cheers but I already have a very nice set lined up and just need to know what size tyres to get. Great result for the "Spurs" yesterday - I too am a fan.

What is the width of the rims? On my road stars I have 235 on the 8.5J front and 255 on the 9.0J rear.

The standard fit for the staggered wheels on the Zed is 225/45-17 front and 245/40-17 rear. :)

Thanks for your responses. I had a rough idea but just needed some clarification - don't want to buy the wrong size tyres!
