WTB E70 Spare wheel or rim

[tawa 150]

As in title, ideally OEM spare, which appears to be a bit over $300NZD for the rim plus shipping from FCP euro, which sets approx price range I'm thinking.

Unsure on cross-fitment, open to any suggestions. As far as I can tell it's a 120x5 PCD and 8in wide rim, spare is an 18in. Might be able to get away with a 17 or 16in (22s on at the moment have around 65mm clearance so the 16s would be very tight), far more common and reboring the center bore is a fairly easy job, but figure it's worth seeing what is around first...

Course now I'm thinking about how good those e36 style 45s I have sitting around would look in matt black with some off road tyres and a lift kit... 🤣

Hi there, I have an E70 spare wheel, an 18inch from a square set so you can use on any corner. I bought a set of four for my tow car, kept two, and have two to sell. I ideally wanted $190 with tyre but ok for $160 for Bimmersport member.

Thanks @Family Wagon, but I should have mentioned I'm looking for a spare that could fit in the spare tire hole in the boot, which by my measuring is only good for a 205mm wide option.

Update on this is the 16in rim didn't clear the caliper (about 10-25mm out), and 18in rims tend to be wider so the tyre availability isn't there in the narrow (205mm) range that would fit in the stock tyre hole. Even the OEM spare rim tyre size isn't showing up. So I've decided to get some of the standard size 255 (too late on the above offer unfortunately) and lift the boot floor to suit, hopefully I'll be able to make it fit in well with the original design, the OEM plastic tray thing should hide a few sins anyway! The 50mm lift should add space for a few tool trays as well, handy for my work/hobbies.
