BMW E92 Winter alloys on F82, will they fit?

[T1berious]

Good Morning,

A quick question. I've got a set of BMW Style 158's coming off our 330i (17" - 225/45R17) will they pop on an F82?

Cheers in advance

I fitted some E90 wheels/winter tyres to my F31. iirc I had to change the tyres from 225/45/17 to 225/50/17.

Ahh, cheers for the heads up

strangely enough the guy I spoke to at BMW said the technicians had that as a "no" I didn't think they changed the offset or anything between the E90 and F30?

Sounds a bit odd

There's a site called wheel-size.com

Input the vehicle it will give you all you need to know, widths, diameters, pcd/number of mounting holes, offset.

Then compare both of your models. If they're the same they'll fit.

Making sure the brakes fit inside the diameter, if a smaller wheel, is easy and calculating the tyre dimensions to get the same rolling radius is too.

I had mine on for 3 winters. I think the offset was marginally different, maybe a couple of mm.

Will depend on the offset of your F82.

Needs a bit of faffing about though!

I had a quick look. They should fit straight on, both cars use a 17" wheel:

8J x 17 225/45 tyre
5 x 120 mount
ET34 offset
72.6mm bore.

Would double check clearance in case you have big brakes.

Second look. 4 series has M14 bolts, 330 was M12

May still fit, depends if bolts mate correctly.

Hey Maracus, did you have any issues with the bolts fitting?

Oh yeah. I'd forgotten that BMW seem to have decided to change PCD from 5x120 to 5x112. Really not sure why they decided to do this, although the VAG scene will be happy as they will no longer need adapters to run BMW wheels on their A3s and Golves.

Have they? They all seem to be 5 x 120 to me.

From about 1992 when the E30 (4x100) ended until this year they were all 5x120 with 72.6mm centre bore (with the exception of E39 which was 74.1mm centre bore, for some inexplicable reason). The i3 and i8 as well as the, X1, 2 Series Active Tourer (burn with fire kthx), and 2017 7 Series (G11/G12) have move to a smaller centre bore (66.56mm) and PCD is now 5x112, the same change is either going to happen or has already happened across the rest of the range. Also apparently MINI is changing to a 5x112 pattern. So, basically the same centre bore and PCD as most modern Audi and Mercs.
