2008 328ix Wheels on 2017 330ix

Hi;

New to the forum, so bear with me.

I have a 2017 330ix Wagon and I want to buy used wheel/tires for winter.

Someone not too far from me has 16" OEM rims for a 2008 338xi with 205 x 55 x 16 Bridgestone winter RFT's for sale.

I realize that a 225 width may be preferred, but will the wheels fit.

Opinions?

They might not clear the brakes, that would be my no. 1 concern. OEM (or close) offsets from E90 will work fine on F30.

They should slip on; only caveat for fit is if they clear the brakes.

One big caveat: the tire sizes of F3x are different than E9x. For instance, the 205/55R16 size is incorrect for F3x - it needs to be one size taller (profile), which would be 205/60R16. Same for 225 size tires: rather than 225/50R16, they need to be 225/55R16.

Sometimes it's hard to find tires in the odder sizes (especially RFT's, because fewer of them are made.) I have go-flat winters partly for that reason.

FYI, the thinking for the taller tires is so that the RFT ride would be softer.
