How to tell the size of a wheel?

cadman50 · 09-02-2013, 09:24 PM

I picked up 4 307 style wheels that came off a 2013 X3. They have to be 18" because I'm sure they are not 19" and I don't believe that the X3's came with 17" wheels. You would think there would be something stamped on each wheel but I can't see it. Maybe it's in the back of one of the spokes but it's too dirty and can't see the metal. They sure as hell look like 307's so I'm not too concerned. Anyone know if the size's are stamped inside or some sort of designation?

I believe 307's are only made in 18". Why not just measure them if you are concerned.

I did. The 18 size is over 19" though. where is the 18 measured from? the 8 looks right.

Dont know about the x35i, but 17" was standard on the x28i. 18"s came with the sport packages, else 17", else paid through the nose for other rims from factory.

No man....i'm looking for winter tires now. Here are the wheels. Like I said I didn't see any stampings. I was just curious if they do stamp some kind of identification.
