Will BBS CF 17" fit? also 210 or 240 Sottozero II?
Hi, this is mostly a question for Gary but I thought others could use this information as well.
I was looking for rims for a set of dedicated winter tires, and was wondering if the BBS CF 17x7.5 rims would clear the brake calipers on an E92 335is? I see these rims as an option on the website when I configure it to only show rims suitable for the car, but I have never seen anyone post about them, and have only seen Rial Salernos, which I wouldn't mind getting, but was hoping for more options. Another question I have is regarding the difference between 210 and 240 Sottozero II tires? I see both in 225/45R17. Which one is more noisy, better performance in snow, and which one is wider? What would you recommend for the BBS CF 17x7.5? Do the 240s come in Run-Flats? Edit: To add to the question, are there any other BBS 17" wheels that will clear the caliper and be suitable for winter duty? Thank you for your time, I hope to hear back soon so I can order! |

The Pirelli 210SZ S2 and 240SZ S2 are known for having great handling and steering response for a winter tire, but falling short of the snow and ice traction of most of the other available snow tires. If you're in a light snow area they may be appropriate for you. The difference between the two is in speed rating, with the 240 having a higher speed rating and a bit stiffer sidewall. I would expect little to no difference in snow traction between the two. Winter http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AH8&...nter/index.jsp
