Will these wheels fit for the winter? - XBimmers

alfidog · 09-22-2012, 03:05 AM

I'm hopeless with technical stuff!

I have a 2011 m body 3.0d X3 , and I managed to go through a set of conti run flat tyres in 12000 miles.

I am looking at these for the winter:

Will they fit , and will they affect the tp monitor?

Really appreciate any help?

TP monitor no problem on UK spec cars, they work on rolling radius and calculate a change in diameter rather than measuring the actual pressure. This is why you should still check you pressures weekly, if all tyres lose pressure together it won't flag.

I would guess they would fit. I'll have to dig out the link but all previous generation X3 & X5 wheels should fit, I have E53 X5 17" wheels for winter.
