17's possible for F25?

E92LNGCGY · 03-08-2012, 01:04 PM

Has anyone tried to put 17's (for winter) on the M-Sport 35i? Tirerack says it will fit but I'm not 100% sure.

It seems that some fit and some won't.

its a SNUG fit.. There's a couple guys on here that have done it successfully on a F25 35i. Probably depends on the specs and rims.

I'd personally go with 18's just to be safe... but mine are going to be on OEM 369s.

They fit - I'm running 17s for a winter set up and have had no issues with brake clearance.
