I just bought a set of genuine mv2 alloys for my e46 with no tyres, when i got home i noticed that 3 of the wheels are size 8jX18 and 1 is 8.5jX18.
I know that the genuine set are meant to be Front 8j and rear 8.5j.
So my question is can i safely put the 4 wheels on the car as is even though there is one odd one or would i be better looking for an another 8.5j for the rear?
Hope that makes sense. Thanks
Im almost certain you will be grand once the tyre size (rolling radius) is correct
Yes should be fine, But I'd personaly get anoter 8.5J for it.
Least you'll have a matching spare in the boot. :).
The difference isn't huge, the extra half inch width is almost cancelled out by the higher offset ET50. It may look odd though. I'd deffo be looking for a rear.
Thanks lads. Il think il look for a rear one, took 6 weeks to find a decent full set so hopefully wont take that long to find a single one!
