Default Rim Question hurry deadline 11am
Hey so im looking to getting a new set of rims and i found a set on craigslist for $100 they are 16" off a 99 323i, the thing is the tires used on the my stock 16"s are not the same.

Mine are P205/60R16
Hers are P205/55R16


Will this make a difference? I think these rims are a steal for $100... no curb rash at all.

you'd be better off using her tires if the tread's about the same, the tires you have are slightly too big which throws off your speedometer slightly

one tire blew so she goes out and buy a whole new set of rims? in that case you could use your old tires since they fit before

nope. You can't put a 16" tire on a 17" rim.

are you sure that's a 17"? looks like a 16" to me, as far as I know that's the only size that style rim was available in
