E30stz 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2005 (edited) Hi guys, I'm not sure of the rules behind changing tyre diameters. Basically found some 16's that im keen to put on. Looking at changing the 195 x 60 R14 for some mags which currently have 195 x 45 R16's Only problem its going to change from 182.8038 cm to 179.0954 cm. Which is roughly 2% difference.

Have you checked the offset & centre-bore?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
downlow 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2005 I think you're legaly alowed to go 2" bigger in diameter on your wheels. They tryed saying something to me before i had a cert when i went for a wof with 17"s :bounce: on my e30, al i did was went to the tire shop they gave me a document saying they are within 5% of the original fitted wheels so sweet as. cheers matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petone 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2005 Whats the deal when theres different sized tires available for your car, the E30's had either 195/60 or 195/65. Does it just mean you got a wider selection of tire sizes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
