Our 17" wheels will not clear your brakes if you have the optional 370mm front brakes. The 17x8.5s can work really well for the 2 series, but be sure of a few things related to brakes before placing your order: There are a few logistical issues that prevent us from offering those currently, and our focus is on the wheel development side so I don't think we will have any all-season options soon for your order. I've been pushing internally to get at least one all-season model in our lineup of tire choices, probably the Michelin AS3/4. You can order them with Michelin PS4S summer tires, but we don't currently offer any all-season options. Is there any way of ordering them with non-racing tires mounted and balanced, such as all-seasons?

Since they are a popular wheel the worst that can happen is resell them for a bit of a loss. If the wheels don't quite fit you could also run a small spacer and 225s up front since that would be close to a 18x8.5 35mm which is a common wheel for the 2 series.Īlso, the wheels look good and I think you should give it a shot. Unfortunately the rotor and caliper design from car to car is unique so the best you can do without actually test fitting them is ask the seller to measure the distance from the wheel hub to the spoke and see if it's close to the distance from the rotor hub to caliper on your car. If anyone has a rough idea if those are bigger or smaller that would be helpful. I’m having trouble finding a good comparison of those brakes vs the blue Brembo’s on mine. The seller noted that the calipers on his 2005 X5 4.8is were lightly rubbing on spokes.

As Estoril235 pointed out, the spokes rubbing the calipers is my big worry now. I checked per your recommendation and the centerbore is correct. E38 wheels should be bolt-on in terms of their centerbore. The E39 wheels are going to have a 74.1mm centerbore which is specific to that chassis and will require centering rings to be truly hubcentric on a 2 series. I believe they came on both the E38 and E39 chassis. Narrower tires like 235s would be an easier fit.īe careful with M Parallels. You may need some additional negative camber up front with 245/35-18s to clear your fender.
