Will 16's fit on an F30?

ClevelandBeemer · 12-21-2015, 07:31 PM

I'm looking at trying to use the Blizzak's from my wife's old Jetta. She has a set of 205 x 55 x R16. Does anyone know if you can use 16's on an F30? I'm looking at BMW OEM wheels from an E90, BMW wheel 71314. Can anyone give me some guidance on this one?

I don't believe 16s will clear the brakes. Additionally, I think the bolt pattern for VWs and BMWs are different. the F30 is 5x120, not sure what the Jetta is.

The 328 in Euro comes with 16in option. Those should clear. The 35 however.. NOPE

If you remove your brakes, 16 inch wheels will certainly clear.

Brakes are just like vaccines. There are many that believe they are optional when you can engine brake.
