swapping wheels
Can anyone tell me if these wheels
http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-m...res/1007914759 will fit my F10 without the need for spacers etc. The tyres are 245/40/18 instead of the recommended 245/45/18 but I don't think that would matter much, or would it? Thanks. |

http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/ Tyre size is wrong, too low a profile for the F10. You do need the 45 aspect ratio to get the sidewall dimension correct, particularly as you are after better ride quality. HighlandPete |

They are Styling 166 but they are 18''. Does that mean they aren't original BMW wheels?

It is a difficult shout, as to what solution is going to give you what you want. Will an 18" non run-flat improve the ride quality enough over rough roads? Rim weight and tyre specification could be as critical as size and a move to a non run-flat. Plus the comment in the other thread, "it's smoother, but not £1200 worth smoother". HighlandPete |

Sorry to barge in on the thread but i just joined the forum and I do not yet have the priviledge to create a new thread.
Does anyone know why BMW does not include the 245/50 R17 tyre size as an option for the F10? I have a 528 with 18" rims and 245/45 tyres. I wish to change down to 17" due to suffering a lot of tyre damage caused by bad road conditions were i live. The 17" rims would allow a higher profile tyre and hence better cushioning effect. BMW lists the 225/55 R17 as the only option. I do not want to loose the traction quality of the 245s but nobody at the local BMW dealership can inform me why the 245/50 R17 is not listed. |
