F31 Winter Wheels and Tyres

Post by 164 coupe » Sat Sep 18, 2021 8:02 pm

As the nights continue to draw in, it got me thinking about winter time. I have seen a set of staggered 18” BMW style 640 wheels with winter tyres advertised locally. They were previously fitted to a F80 M3. They have 255/40s all round. My query is that on the front I currently have the standard 245/30 x 20. Will these fit without any rubbing etc?

Thanks in advance.

I think the 640M alloys should fit without issue. Standard F3* 18's have been known to fit, so I don't think you'll have a problem.

Thanks for that Matt. Do you think the 255s rather than 245s at the front will be ok?

I think they'll be fine. Might be worth plugging the details into https://www.willtheyfit.com just to check. Great website.
