What you have given us is the tire size, not the wheel size. It would be helpful to know if they are BMW OEM, and if not, who makes those wheels and both the offset number and the hub bore size. You can often get that information from the numbers stamped on the back of the wheel. Are there any markings?

Not according to Bimmerworld.


The staggered wheel offset specs for your car are ET 20 front and ET 32 rear. You may get by by using spacers, but I personally would rather use wheels that fit.

So we have fitted these in the two rears are fine. But one problem is the right front ones. It makes a thud noise after a spin I reckon but the left is still fine. Do you know why it is? We reckon it was the bolt fitting was wrong but have no idea. We’re trying to get it to a tyre shop tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions or idea why it is happening?
