Is it true the BMW wheel is one size bigger
Hi All
Is it true that BMW cars usually can fit one size bigger wheels than Mercedes?
I had the F10 535i and had 20" wheels on it. 245/35/20 Front, 285/30/20 Rear, and lowered. Still has about 1.5 finger gap. I have seen people putting 21" on and still look decent.
With the W212. I have seen many 20" set up. Most of them look a little big and tight around the wheel well. Some even has rubbing issues. We don't even need to mention 21" since it will most likely not fit.
So, Is it true?
