16" Steel Wheels for 128i Winter Setup
Hello all,
I am curious if anyone knows how I could find out if these wheels clear the brakes and calipers on my 128i? Bone stock 128s come with 16" Style 360s in 16x7 ET44 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...SC0ZFEJPKVD309 The bolt pattern, hub bore and offset seem appropriate and I would much rather pay for a set of dedicated winter wheels than keep switching rubbers on the stock wheels. Additionally, replacement tire costs are 10-20% cheaper on the 16s than 17s. |

I'm all for 16" wheels for winter use, but I prefer alloys to steelies. I can't speak for those particular wheels, but steel rims can be a little tighter on clearance. I bought a used set of E46 (I think) 5-spokes and threw on a set of Conti WinterSportSIs, which I like. Unless you're committed to buying new, there's lots of used 16" stuff out there that will work.

They pair nicely with a set of 215/60/16 tires. Nice tall sidewall |
