16's to 189 18's and I need help please - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

MyEyez · 07-16-2011, 11:49 PM

I'm new here and have a few questions about some rims I just ordered. I have a 328i with stock 16's and recently purchased some 18" 189's to replace them.

1) Can I use the existing TMPS from my 16's with the new 189's? I would think so, but I'm also thinking that the new setup will be running at a different pressure and would throw some errors.

2) The 189's I bought don't come with center caps. While I might be able to use my existing ones I would prefer to get new center caps. I've been pointed to eBay where several Hong Kong sellers have plastic BMW center caps with a size of 68mm. Will these fit? Would I be better off tracking down some OEM caps?

3) I found some Pirelli PZero Nero tires for a good price. Does anyone have any experience with these. Ill be running staggered @ 255/35/18 and 225/40/18.

Thanks for any help on getting me off my 16"ers.

1) Yes. I personally bought a second set.

2) Yes, you can reuse your current ones.

Good move getting off the 16s
