RFT x 18" TO 19" non RFT?

les330 · 02-02-2011, 08:00 AM

Hi

Am thinking of replacing existing RFT/wheels on my 330d to 19" x 225 wheels with Falken tyres. Currently running with BMW189 x 18" wheels/Bridgestones RFT.
Have read that changing to larger wheels, may have to change sensors. Is this correct ?
Also will this put speedo out ?
Advice from those who have converted please.

as long as the correct standard tyres are used...don't think u'll need to do anything to the speedo...

Swap to genuine bmw 19s with 265/30/19 rear and 235/35/19 on front will mean no sensor changes or speedo issues - that's what I did. However, be careful which style you choose if you don't want cracked rims!

Ooh just realised you got e92, mine is e90 so would just double check the tyres sizes, but deffo no sensor or speedo adjustments required.

I did the same as Butch 18's loaded with RFT to 19" with non RFT no issues what so ever, in fact a marked improvement.
