The Style 65 wheels wont fit the F10 i guess.

I thought the offset for the F10 is different.

 

[ck318ci]

woohoo...

Nice.......

Would like to see how the 351 flare with non M sport cars...

Do post a picture when is mounted!

Are you going to lower the car too?

Nice W211 to ferry the wheels...

it will stick out a bit i think... f10 is 30, the rim is 20+, not too sure on the center hub though...

 

[ck318ci]

f10 wheels fit the E90? I think the offset and centre bore is the same.. Just the tyre profile is 225/55 vs 225/45?
If i take the 17inch set of my F10 and shaft it on my Mom's E90. will it be ok?

One more time...

ck318ci: I'm also very curious on how the wheels will look like on a non-Msport.

The W211 is a diesel as well, hehehe

 

[willie]

those are 19 inches???

 

[ck318ci]

wah..... nice nice nice...

Bump it up so that Paul can quickly mount it and show us how it looks like!!!!

but i think the speedo will become inaccurate due to increase in the overall size... also rubbing the wheel arches if lowered (unlikely in ur case though)...

Paul, what tyre are u planning to put on ? Run Flat or Normal ?
Would it be a treat running around without a spare ?

 

[alpina b5]

[ck318ci]

Last week I change my 17" to the style 331 19" rims + Michelin PS2 in to my 520d. The end result= not very happy.
I experiencing a louder tyre noise compare to my old 525i E60 M-sport with 18". And the road feed back from the steering is nothing close to the old m-sport.
But the main problem still the tyre noise,which is very bad..... I wonder is it only me having the problem, how is you guys feel after upsaiz your wheels?

I will try to upload picture of my car ASAP.

What tyres did your 520d come with? The Goodyear Excellence RFT on mine are already very loud, I can't imagine 19 inch non-RFT tyre being louder?

My original set was the Goodyear RFT also. It was noisy but batter that my 19" now.
My tyre constantly have a 'roaring' wind like sound like those army truck in the highway, but of couse softer la. It start at 40kh/h and taken over by normal tyre sound when speed reach 100kmh.
I bought my rims from ' lim tayar' & they said it is normal since the back tyre now saiz at 275/35/19. Should sound louder.

I still feel very disappointed as I sent my car to 2 others tyre shop and both come with different expenation but no solution. Hopefully got bro. here with 19" rim can share their experiences. Thank you.

Even my in law 18inch AMG wheel on E200 CGI is already LOUD.. It is even louder when driving on a concrete road and its quite unbearable... I think its probably because of the low profile tires setup.. It looks nice though.

btw could you share how much you paid for your staggered 19 inch tyres? maybe via PM if not in the open?
