Winter tyres
Hey guys,
I have a m135i x-drive with oem style 436M rims, with summer tyres: front:225/40R18 rear: 245/35R18 Now I want to put winter tyres on these same rims, but there is only one winter tyre of the dimension of my rear summer tyres and it's way too expensive! So I was wondering if I could put another size tyre on my back rims? I read online that the dimension of the back rims is of 8Jx18 ET52 (and 7.5Jx18 ET45 for the front) Thanks a lot for the answers! |

Hey, thanks for the answer.
I was also considering buying another set of rims to fit four 225/40 R18 tyres. I went to BMW yesterday, and they strongly advised me against non BMW-rims, the guy really wanted me to buy their winter kits (bmw rims and bmw 'star' certified tyres). What do you think about that? Otherwise, I don't really know what dimension I should look for the news rims. Right now I have: FRONT: 7.5Jx18 ET45 REAR: 8Jx18 ET52 A website tells me I should get 8Jx18 ET 43, that should fit without any issue right? (http://www.pneus-online.fr/jante-aut...3-72.6-59.html ) Thanks a lot for the answer, you are really helping me since people in garages are trying to rip me off |

BMW rims keep their value well, and they are good quality. If you go with other rim types, make sure you get the pressure sensors installed. 8x18et43 will fit, but the best rim size for 225-tyres is 7.5".
The star certified tyre thing is mostly a hype. |
