I'm looking at 08-12 3-series 16" steel wheels for winter tires, but nobody, not even BMW USA, can confirm if they'll fit.
BMW USA should have dimensions drawings of all of these parts, but that's probably more work than they'd care to do for something such as this.
Can anybody enlighten me on this?
I see that Tire Rack sells 16" aluminum wheels for the 228i with base brakes, so maybe there are steel wheels that would fit. You might try calling them to see if they have any useful information for you.
