Need offset advice for winter rims
Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2016 12:03 pm
I'm preparing to get snow tires on dedicated rims for my 2016 228 Msport with track handling pkg. Think M235i as the M brakes and wheels are the same. I have a set of the base 17" wheels from an F30 that clear the calipers and appear to fit well with no rubbing anywhere but the offset is different. Here are the specs:
Stock wheel - style 461m- 7.5x 18 ET 45 front, 8x18 ET52 rear
F30 wheel- style 393- 7.5x17 ET 37
The F30 rims sit within the wheel wells but are closer to the edge of the wheel well than the stocks. Am I running the risk of suspension or other damage running these rims with the 17" (minus 1?) equivalent tire for the winter?
Thanks very much, Bill
