Also, being that you're considering getting the entire wheel set (rims and tires) from tire rack, just remember that the G05's PCD (bolt pattern) is 5x112. |

I confirmed the PCD - tire rack said they won't suggest wheels that won't work with the pattern. The ones they show are all 5x112. Thanks for all your help. I will send you a picture when I get mine installed. |

Well, right now tire rack is checking if they can do the 19x9 wheels faster than 2/21 that they say right now. So I am in a holding pattern. While that is what I am doing, if I do 19x8 say, is that going to be difficult to install compared to 19x9 or due to extra width 19x9 be difficult to install ? Any views on that? I can just cut the chase and do 20" which are available in 20x9 per BMW spec but the only issue is there are no Scorpion winter RF in that size. Why does this have to be such a science project. |

I bought some 'take-off' BMW wheels and had Nokian R3 RFT winter tires installed on them. My cost ~$2600 US installed. These were on a 19" square setup. No snow or ice driving since, so can't comment. The Nokian tires worked quite well on my previous vehicle. They use an aramid fiber in the sidewalls, so should be safer if you hit a curb or road debris.
The wider the winter tire, in fresh snow, the worse grip you'll get, and most places recommend downsizing the wheel size for the winter as snow/slush/ice can cover up things like potholes, and more sidewall height can help prevent damages to the wheel, tire, and suspension. |
