New Wheels

https://www.bimmerworld.com/Wheels-T...-Wheel-17.html

I like the look of these wheels. I want to keep my current tires which are 205/50/17. Will these wheels fit? And would you suggest other wheels over the ones I linked?

205 is a little narrow for a 8.5 but you can do it.

For the wheels, compare to you current size and offset using willtheyfit.com

I love 'em! They're usually on sale around Memorial Day for $349 in that size. Great wheel, super light. All mine weighed 16 pounds 11.8 ounces on my HFT postal scale (no deviation).

A 205 is way too narrow. I currently have 225/45 MPSS all around and that's as narrow as I'd go on this wheel and is the widest wheel that Michelin approves for that tire. 205/50 PS2 is a 7.5 inch max wheel width.
