Replying to: kyfdx (May 03, 2005 11:10 am) There is someone down in the Carolinas selling his factory 325i SP wheels and tires, and it would be easy for me to pick them up when I get my car, but then I would have an extra set of summer tires to store. I'm not sure what the wisdom on snow tires is--is a staggered fitment preferable, or should I try to keep them the same width front and rear?

I live in the Louisville area so I have a set of winter tires mounted on dedicated rims for my wife's E39 boat. I swap the winter set on no earlier than December and I usually refit the summer rubber on no later than mid-March.

Replying to: corvette (May 03, 2005 11:55 am) If you have the E90 325i sport package, you have staggered 17" wheels... You can get a set of stock E90 330i wheels (17 X 8, all around), and get winter tires for those... That gives you a nice aggressive look all year round (225/45-17 on the snows), and you don't have to downgrade to 16" wheels for the 4 months of winter driving.. Granted.. you give up a little traction over the 205/55-16 size, but not a lot.. But, if the E46 wheels fit, you have a plethora of 17 X 8 choices from any of the E46 325i sport packages from the last 4 years... regards, kyfdx

Replying to: planoml (May 03, 2005 1:18 pm)  Wheel Wax = Dirty Hard To Clean Wheels (Been there, done that, got the Tee-Shirt) If you want clean wheels, then from my perspective at least, get some clean pads. The folks at PBR/Axxis told me that they will be tooling up for the E90 brakes this summer with initial shipments taking place sometime this fall. That means that they should hit our shores late this year/early next year. I put these pads on my 530i, and they worked so damned well that I'm actually thinking of taking a set with me to Munich next April, and putting them on in the parking lot of the ED Center.
