gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 13, 2014 Bought these for the E46 Touring, but have gone back to 16s. Just a case of practicality - the 17s need new tyres, and I had set of Michelins for the 16s. They obviously suit the E46. I think they'll also fit the E36, E34ix, Z4 (E85/E86) and possibly others, especially if you're happy to use a spacer to reduce the (numerical value of the) offset. 4 of them - one for each corner. With centres. Tyres are all Bridgestone Potenza RE050s. All four tyres have some, if not significant, camber wear. Size (not that it matters given the wear) is 215-50/16. Rims are not perfect, but don't have large chunks missing, any flat spots, or dents, and aren't cracked. I can take pics if anyone is interested. I can deliver locally(ish) or down to Hamilton, for a couple of weeks. After that I'll be working in Manukau so heading north, instead of south. No idea what the going rate is. Offers on $150 for the set? I also have a set of worn with camber wear, but WoF-able (didn't even raise a tester's eyebrow), 205-55/16s. 2x Champiro Bax2 (3-3.5mm), 2x FIrestone TZ700 (4-4.5mm). I'd like $100 for the 4 but make me an offer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 13, 2014 Lol Apparently E46s on standard suspension settings have a tendency to wear the insides of the rear tyres especially. Rotate the tyres, and you have four with camber wear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 17, 2014 Yup - that's the size. I bought the rims a while back, with the tyres fitted. I feel that 215 is perhaps a touch wide and that 205/50-17 would be better. There was some camber wear when I got them and assuming even wear when on my car, that's not going to improve. That said, I was advised that 1990s and 2000s BMWs have a tendency to wear the inside of the rear tyres. I've rotated them - well, swapped front to back - which means (if the wear story is true) they've all ended up the same. Changes were made when I had the alignment done... It'll be interesting to see how the 205/55-16s now fitted wear. You're more than welcome to have a look, but I appreciate Welly is a bit of a trek! I'll try to sort some pics this weekend.
