Elbrus I05 16", Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D

Question for the experts.
I sold my 09 128i coupe but I kept the winter tires and wheels for it.

They are Elbrus I05 16", Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D 205/55R16,

I only drove them 2 seasons and there is some thread left on them... I think since I am not sure how to tell winter tires are finished or not.

My car is a e92 335xi Coupe. Will those wheels and tires fit?
Should I just tough it out with the curent set up I have which is 18" M wheels and all season rft tires...?

Thanks,

The wheels will not fit, 17" is a minimum for 335i, and not all 17" wheels fit, best go with 18 to be safe

Not many 17" wheels clear the brakes, but we do have a handful of options that do. Go to the winter section of our site here : Winter
http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AH8&...nter/index.jsp .

Enter the year and model of the car and click on the link for 17" packages. Two of the more popular choices are the Rial Salerno and Sport Edition A7. See the winter sticky for more info.
