Will OEM 17's fit a 330i W'Sport Package?

I have OEM 162's now,
Looking at the size of the brakes they are quite snugged up to the inner rim,
Im not sure if an inch smaller would fit,

Are the brakes the same for 330i's for sport package and without?

Just want to be sure OEM 17's will fit (for a spare set for winter)

Now I need to know for SURE so please only chime in if you know 100% and not just a best guess

OEM 17's designed for the E90 will fit. 330xi's have the same brakes and came with 17" wheels regardless of ZSP optioned or not. Aftermarket wheels are luck of the draw, between offset and spoke design they may or may not fit.

Do you really want to pay to have OEM wheels though? You could get aftermarket 17" wheels for US$150 a piece if it's just for the winter.

Oh, fair enough. If you really wanted to, you could also mount winter runflats onto OEM rims as they have the EH2 hump to make proper use of them. Just thought you should know

Style 157, 158 or 159 will fit an E90/92. I found a used set on this forum and mounted snow tires.
