going on a 2010 328xi sedan, i know the bolt pattern is the same, what else do i need to check?

dlbrooks18 · 03-13-2010, 01:36 PM

should fit with no problem, nice wheels

s1cke92 · 03-13-2010, 01:46 PM

anyways those are ZHP wheels. not m3. i seen some for sale in SF/bay craiglist for like 900 or something.

morningla · 03-13-2010, 01:54 PM

sorry, i was also wondering what the proper size should be for 17" wheel to run in winter.

s1cke92 · 03-13-2010, 01:59 PM

i dont think the size matter? well i live in california i run my 19in bbs lm daily haha

i think its the 17in tires that you should be worried about. like what brand and sizing. that i dont know.

oh and yeh those wheels SHOULD Fit. i had stock e92 17 from the non sport 17x8 or 8.5 all around on my ride and i have sport package with bigger brake rotors. you have a 328i so i dont see a problem fitting them. and make sure the hub are the same size if not get some adapters.

morningla · 03-13-2010, 02:09 PM

yes, sorry i meant tires...
what 17' tire size are recommended for winter on the 328xi

i will measure the hub size when i go see the rims.

morningla · 03-18-2010, 04:07 PM

my stock sizes are 225/45/17.
running winters 215/45/17 will be perfect right? thinner better traction?

Check with the seller before you buy them. The real ZHP wheels are 18 and not 17. If you have 17 inch tires to fit these you will be dissapointed. If they are replicas, then there is a chance they could be 17, but the OEMs are 18. I had a 330 ZHP with those wheels.

the selling has those rims in 18 with summers (sold with car) and another set of 17 with winters, they look the same in the photo mounted with 215/45/17.

how do i know if they are replica or not, they look good but i am not going to see them until next week.

The best way to see if they are replicas is by the "stamp" on the back of the wheels. If they are OEM they will have it. Furthermore, if they are 17 they are replicas. To my knowledge BMW did not make a ZHP wheel in 17.

The replicas should work ok for winter,

morningla · 03-21-2010, 07:35 PM

ya I'll offer less for replicas

bavarian19 · 03-21-2010, 08:17 PM

Those wheels were never offered from BMW in anything but 18's for the ZHP, and now the E60 msport.

morningla · 03-26-2010, 12:53 AM

i forgot to mention mine is the 328 x drive sedan.
from my readings, i think they should use the same wheels as the sports package.

how do i determine the offset and width of the wheel, would i just have to test fit? the tires from this e46 are 215/45/17 in the pic.

i remember my old 06 325xi had 205/55/16, and that's actually what is recommended on tireRack.
