19s 442M Alloys?

Hi Guys,

I need some urgent advice please.

I have been offered 442M 19" alloys.

I have a 2013 320d Efficiant Dynamics with the standard 16" alloys.

These new Alloys look so good but will they fit my car due to the car being lower?

Has anyone done this on the ED model?

How about MPG?


Please help me out with some advice guys so I dont make an expensive error!

Thanks, Amit

the wheels will fit just fine. they may just be heavier than your 16s so you could see reduced mpg.

thanks for the reply!

I was a little unsure as my F30 320d Efficiant Dynamics is lower.

These alloys im looking at are off a bmw 440 series

You mentioned "due to the car being lower". Do you have a standard suspension or did you install aftermarket springs, shocks, or coilovers?

OEM 442M 19" wheels should fit without any issues if you have a standard suspension.

Hi

When I meant lower as in I have the effciant dynamics so the car is 10mm lower by bmw than the standard 320d.

Thanks again, Amit

Hey guys,

I bought these 19" 442m alloys tonight. They have been used for a couple of thousand miles but still look new. I just have a couple of questions before I attempt to fit them?

When I put one alloys in front of the current 16" alloy, the new one looks massive.

1. Should i wheel balance them or just fit them on myself?
2. Do i need to do any esys coding as these alloys have the tpms valve monitors?
3. Will i need any type of spacers or shall i just bolt the straight on?

Thanks, Amit.
