E91 wheels on an F31 M Sport
Hi there, I have my old winter wheels from my E91 330d M Sport. They are BBS CH's. I am wondering if these will fit my current F31 320d M Sport?
All advice greatly appreciated. Many thanks & kind regards, Kevin

They are staggered. Hmmmmmm, Not sure of the offset though. As far as I know they are the same as the 18" E9X M Sport wheels.
Sorry, Not much help I know. I will though, try & find out

Whilst we know your question is about the wheels and if they fit, if you still have the same tyres on, they will probably be one profile too small as all wheel/ tyres combinations went up one profile from e9x to f3x. Ot won't in itself cause a massive problem other than your speedometer and milometer will over read as the rolling radius on an f30 tyre is slightly bigger. And the ride will be a bit firmer!

Those rears look under-sized. It that some sort of VAG Euro look?
As sweels says, they will physically fit but will not be the correct size. As yours are after-market it is difficult to say if the off-set is correct or not. They are different between E9x and F3x.

It is also one I WOULD check with your insurance as they would not be F3x approved.
Normally, as long as tyre is an approved fit / rating no need to tell insurance. In this case could be wise, especially as looking at winters. |

The tyres are all 225x40x18 Continental winter contacts. Yes, They are a little stretched on the rears. Have lasted 3 winters so far & have loads of tread left. If the car was fitted with factory 18's then what profile should they be?

Ok, Just done a search 18" sizes should be 225x45x18 & 235x40x18 so a little taller than the E9X.
Should I just sell them instead? lol

Just depends whether you can live with your speedo being wrong and small chance of insurance not paying out in the event of an accident.
Could just get a set of new tyres tbh |
