Wheel Clearance
Hi,
I have these brakes on my 15 335i. I have the M Sport package with 18 inch rims. I previously had a 12 328i that I used 17 inch diameter snow tires on. Can I use them or do I need 18 inch wheels? If so, I will be selling a set of Rial Salerno wheels with Michelin PA3 snow tires with about 3,000 miles on them in 17 inch diameter I bought from Tire Rack. Thanks in advance!!

If you have the optional M-Sport brakes, then the 17" Rial wheels will not fit. The M-Sport brake package requires a minimum of 18" wheels.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I wasn't sure if these were the M Sport brakes or not. I knew at one point you could order the package and opt out of the brakes. I also heard that the M Sport brakes had a blue caliper with the M logo on them. If they are, I will be giving you all a call. I've ordered quite a bit from you and have never been disappointed. I asked the dealership to test fit the old wheels to my car. I'm not sure that happened since the car was sitting exactly where I parked it that day. I'm looking at the Rial wheels and Pirelli runflats in the 18 inch diameter. I thought they looked awesome on my 2012. |

You don't have M Sport brakes; you have the standard 335i brakes which have 340mm front rotors + 4 piston front calipers and 330mm rear rotors + 1 piston rear calipers.
I think some 17" style rims will fit but go 18" to be on the safe side.
