325Ci SE MV1 17" - WANT MV2 18"

Hi all,

Just bought my shiny new BMW but I am thinking about upgrading the wheels. I currently have 17" MV1 alloys with 225/44x17 tyres all round. I would therefore assume :eek: that these are all 8J.

I am interesting in getting a set of MV2 18" wheels fitted but from what I have read these come as 2x8J and 2x8.5J.

My question is - Will these fit? and if not is it a lot of effort to make them fit?

Many thanks

Code:
everything is standard BMW OEM
if by that you mean the wheels are original mv2's then the sizes are 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear. front offset: 47 rear: 50

tire sizes would be front 225/40/18 rear 255/35/18

as long as they are original then you wont have a problem fitting them.

The wheels I am looking to buy are original mv2s yes and the currently fitted 17" mv1s are original too.

My concern was that the current wheels have 225/45/17 all round and I wasn't sure if that was because all the wheels are 8J. If this was the case then will the 8.5J rears still fit on OK?
