Morning Melvin

Welcome to the Forum

Short answer yes you can, I believe 20" were also available

You can check at www.realoem.com it is a BMW Parts List just put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box and it will call up your model then look in the wheels/tyres section for correct fitment

Thanks Dave I’ll have a look, I take it this doesn’t affect the speedometer.

Hi Melvin

The different size wheel / tyre combinations are calculated to be as close as possible in diameter so as not to effect the speedo reading

Example a 225x50x17" tyre/wheel will have a diameter of around 657mm a 225x40x19" wheel/tyre will be around 662mm and a 225x35x20" tyre/wheel will be around 665mm The difference being just a few mm will not effect speedo readings 

If you were to go for say 20" wheels and tyres to fill the arches better in a staggered set (wider rear rims) front would be 225x35x20" and 665 mm/dia rear would be 255x30x20" and 661 mm/dia 

If the wheels and tyres you are considering are After market items check realoem to ensure that the bolt pattern and offsets are correct

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Right! Quick update…. replaced the throttle body with a brand new one and took all the pipes and diss valve off for a thorough clean. I found some hairline cracks in the folds of the air intake boot of the idle valve intake pipe, coverered it with order tape then electrical waterproof tape as I couldn’t get another one today. started the car and it was banging and popping and wouldn’t run… then I remembered to plug the throttle body back in! reset all modules and adaptions and it calmed down. took it for a 20 mile run at pace and it’s off like a whippet again. thank you to @Greydog as usual for the advice. hopefully this has sorted the issue and on to the next one!

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, are there any of these programs you mentioned free? I noticed Foxwell scanners for sale and there did not seem to be any need for a laptop to run them, they seem to be all in one. The reason I ask is I bought the original Carly tool a few years ago when they said all you pay is a one of fee and that was it, all further updates were free and no yearly subscription. They guaranteed this, then they brought out a new model with a yearly subscription and the one I had wouldn't work. I argued that was not the agreement but all they did was send me the new tool and ask for around £90.00 per year. I don't mind paying a one of fee but I get annoyed when they don't stand by there word. sorry for the rant. Paneuro.

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew That sounds like a good deal getting the tyres set up The best is BMW ISTA/INPA this will give full dealer access and also includes WIS (Workshop Information) TIS (Technical Information) Wiring Diagrams plus allowing registration of parts and programming I still see copies available for around £100 to £150 there is also stand alone systems like Foxwell, Autologic and iCarsoft Good Luck Happy Christmas Dave
