Random question. I've noticed a few here swap their own wheels out. I do as well. My prior cars all had pinch rails so I have a rubber adapter with a rail guide.
I'd like to get a BMW jack pad adapter. Any recommendations? Rubber or aluminum? |

Check out BMW jack pad adapter on Ebay
The aluminum ones are fine but I have used RED Polyurethane BMW Floor Jack Pad Adapters from Ebay. They are cheap, work fine and red if they roll away under the car.

New to these boards, as I only picked up my m40i this past summer. Looking for a set of snows and was wondering if TPMS sensors are in the rim (tire valve assembly) or in the ABS sensor (onboard with the vehicle)?
On my previous e90, they were in the ABS sensor so I didn't have to worry about paying for an extra set of sensors when I got my set of snows. Thanks. |

^^Thanks guys. I guess I'm paying for TPMS sensors then
Related question though - if you run with no sensors, does anything more than a warning come up? On my older cars, at worst it was a TPMS light on the dash. Just wondering if the BMW system would react any differently... If anyone knows, appreciate the heads up. Thanks! |

I have had 2 4WD pickups and 3 AWD subaru's. At the end of the day. Good snows are as good as it gets for AWD. Ground clearance make is difficult (but not impossible to get through more than 8" of Snow and foresters hav about the best clearance and an AWD at least as good as BMW's (I'll be charitable here). A pickup will get at least 16" and possibly 20" If you are looking for more than 8" to maybe 10". Get a 4WD truck..seriously.
Ask me if I ever got my trucks stuck in 18"...yea... |

Wanted 19" but couldn't find Haka 9 for them so ended up with 20" with Haka 9. Would have preferred narrower tires but the Haka's are the best winter tires in the world so hope it will be ok. Will post pic of set up when I have them mounted in a few weeks

I'm about to order 225/60-18 now. Not sure yet about the rims though. Did you go for square setup, or staggered like oem 20"?

Hey guys just an FYI:
245/50R20 does NOT fit on our vehicles. I ordered a set of Michelin X-Ice Xi2 light truck tires, mounted on 20x8.5 ET32 wheels. I was assured by my vendor that these will fit but they did not. I test fitted in the front and although the wheels cleared the brakes, the suspension sat on the tire. Happy I test fitted them now and not a week before first snow fall! |

It sounds like you need a different offset or spacers to fit a tire that size ? |
