2012 tire size?

sonus · 04-13-2011, 08:32 AM

Someone is selling off his winter wheels and tires near me, and I'm wondering if they'll fit a 2012 128i w/ Sport pkg.

Specs:

205/55R-16 Bridgestone Blizzak WS-60
16x7.5 Sport Edition A7 Silver

Is 16" too small? Or do people just avoid it for some other reason? I don't see many people mentioning 16s.

I believe 16's are fine for a 128i. The 135i needs at least 17's to clear the larger front brakes.

A lot of people here get 17s because 16s won't fit over the brakes on the 135i. I don't know about the 128.
