Stock Run flats
So I am planning on selling my BMW 261's of my 135
And I have been looking on tire rack for some Bremmer Krart BR05 rims Would my stock Potenza's be able to fit on this rim ? http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Price |

This will depend on what the offsets are on the wheels. If you can put that, we can let you know if they will work.

Yes, your stock tires will fit these wheels. Tire rack lists the wheels to be a proper fit for your car and they recommend tires the size of your stock tires.
If you lower your car or go to wider tires, the tires might rub the fenders a little.

The man was asking if his oem tires would fit these wheels, not if the wheels would fit his car... Given the increase from 7-1/2" to 8" and 8-1/2" to 9", yes, your oem tires will fit, but you'll be better off with 225-40 and 255-35 as opposed to the oem 215-40 and 245-35 next time around...as frankly, I'd use any excuse to get rid of the Bridgestone fun-rats (just burned mine off a month or so ago to great fanfare).

What do you mean by "better off", as in I will have better performance ? I am not looking to track my car anytime soon. So my stock runflats will do for now until they do eventually run out. P.S I see you are located in Edmonton SAMEEE hereee ! lol |

If your car's like mine, if you compare your speedometer / odometer with a GPS, you'll likely find that your car's gauge is very optimistic.
When getting rid of my smouldering hulks that were the oem run-flats I up-sized 10mm on tire width to gain a smidge of added circumference, thus slowing down the speedo / odo in relation to my true speed. The car's just about bang-on now... But, again, as you're gaining a 1/2" of rim width, and the fact that the oem tire sizes look fairly stretched already on the oem wheels, when it does come time to ditch the fun-rats, go wider. As you're in Edmonton, are you a member of the NABMWClub? Ever consider running the Alberta Advanced Driving School (likely the LAST school will be May 2011 as Race City Speedway is probably closing at the end of next year)...information can be found on the NABMWClub site.

Some brands of wider tires will probably rub with those wheels on the stock suspension. For sure most wider tires will rub if you lower the suspension.

I will worry about new tires later I was assuming that the stock ones did because I tried selecting the same Bridgestones off TireRack and there appeared to be no problem. But thanks for confirmation |

Another thing, how do I know what other sizes of rims would fit my stock Potenzas?
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand I really like these too but it says the recommended tire size is only 215 ? |
