I have gathered that the 330i has larger brakes?
Will I need 17 inch snow rims?
There are some 16s that will fit, aren't there?
I'd prefer 16s since I'm in Maine and the snow can get nasty and a narrower bit of rubber has always done me good.============================================= ============

(4) SNOW TIRES !
205/55x16" - GOOD TO GO
Hey Michael!
Welcome, you will find some good guys here willing to help. You bought almost a twin to my wife's 02 330i in Platinum. How many miles? Good Luck with the car.
PS: 18" wheels were a common option. Make sure you're not just taking it for granted that your car has 17s.
how can 16" wheels fit over them? Are steel wheels that much thinner?
The calipers on my car practically rub on the adhesive weights used for balance.
93k miles.
Found a set of 17" snow rims and tires in central NJ on another BMW forum that rhymes with zimmerforums.com. I'll have to drive right through there on the way home to Maine with the car. I may tell the dude to wait for me by the side of the Jersey Turnpike and I'll take em off his hands.============================================ =============

Stinger--I was not going to say anything since I am not the expert on this, but I do remember that I read a few years ago something to this very point that agrees with your comment.
driving that can handle and extra four tires on board? Those are big suckers!
that I saved for coupes for 2004. Where all the wheel/tire options are shown, there is an all weather option offered on the 325Ci, but not on the 330Ci. I know the rotors on a 330 are visually noticeably larger, and always thought 16" wheels would not fit this model.
I figure 2 in the trunk, 2 on the back seats?============================================ =============

Could be tight fit.
And watch the dirt in the back seats.
Good Luck
Let us know how you make out.
I'd make sure they were bagged up before putting them on Dove Gray seats and in the trunk.============================================ =============

A new set of clean carpet probably wouldn't hurt, but I'm not entirely sure of the condition of the set that's in it.=============================================== ==========
