    Spare Tires

    Are these tires good enough to be used as spares instead of the donut that we (well, I do) have? No rubbing with calipers or fenders. Knowing we have 18". Thanks.

    Not sure I understand the question. Sounds like you're asking about the tires alone. But you acknowledged that the ZHP has 18"'s, yet these are 16"/17"'s. Are you asking about using the wheels and tires as a winter setup?

    Good question on offset. What are the offsets that would fit on the ZHPs? These wheel & tire setup will be used as spare tire only. The 16" came from a 2000 E46 323i. Offsets unknown. 17" 5series, offsets unknown. Will follow-up though.

    You want to look for ET35 to ET45 to be safe.

    Got it. But would a 16" or 17" are still good enough for spare tires? Thanks.

    You should end up going with a 17/18 to be safe. 16's won't fit. And really....you should just get an 18x8 full size spare.....

    Look for ET 35-45...

    For instance...my rims are 18x8 ET45 and fit perfectly front/rear.

    Check the Tire for manufacture date and insure that they aren't dry rotting. Main problem on old tires

    Will continue to look for single wheel/tire for sale. At least now, I have my parameters. Thanks.

    I found that a 225mm tire is too wide to fit in the spare tire well. I am pretty sure a 195 would have fit, and probably a 205.
