WTB winter rubber

[carsontl]

Anyone got any winter rubber for sale? for the 18" zhp wheels. If you have smaller wheels with the rubber I'd be interested as well. Looking around the $400 range. I saw the guy with the $750 for sale but that's just too rich for my blood lol.

I have two all season Hankook's in the garage. 18/245's.

Would be better than summer performance.

I have a set of 17" Sport Edition wheels with Yokohama (I think - have to check when I get home) winter tires in great shape. The previous owner lived in Denver, so needed them. I live in Texas and do not. I'd like to make some money off them, but I would imagine shipping would take a bite. Let me know if you're interested and we can go from there. Where are you located?

set of 4 Dunlop Winter Sport 3D in 205/55/16 fitment wrapped around 16" M Contour replicas .

Tires have one season on them on a 2004 330i. These tires run about $123.00 ea new. Wheels were new from tire rack in 2005.

I was asking $350 for these if someone met me when I bought the car they came with in CT, but nobody wanted winter tires in July.

I'll take like $300 for them, but shipping is going to wreck the deal. You headed to GA or anywhere near GA anytime soon?

^Those fit a 330? I tried the same wheels on my firiends 330 ZSP and they wouldn't clear the front brake calipers.

The dude that sold me my first ZHP said they were his winter tires, wheels for 5 seasons, tires for 1. He was the original owner of the car and it was his only BMW. I guess I've never tried it myself but I don't see why he'd be lying about it...

I bought my zhp with these exact same wheels on it. So, yes they do fit but Im still not sure how....Ive always thought you need 17" minimum to clear these brakes.

[carsontl]

So we're in agreeance that zj's wheels do fit onto a zhp?

lol.....who knows. 16's on a ZHP?

[zj96sc]

I can throw one on the car tonight and let you guys know. I'm going to be pretty surprised if they don't, but just for posterity's sake we'll have proof.

[carsontl]

i'm mainly after a cheap solution for winter wheels/tires, if 16's fit then 16's it is... lol

Thanks Paul.

As lasting proof, these 16s fit on a 330/zhp:

Tight fit but fits nevertheless.

[danewilson77]

Nice. Thanks for the data

[carsontl]

I bought them from Paul, thanks everyone! I feel confident about this winter now.

My previous car was a g35 coupe and was also RWD and could not grip on snow to save my life (went through a light sideways once) and when I put it on ws60 blizzaks it was night and day.

[goofiefoot]

Oops! I dropped the ball on getting you photos of mine. I'm glad you found something!

I'm also in cbus. I have many tire suppliers across town that I get a pretty good price break at. I couldn't find any new tires for your price range though in an 18" but if you ever need anything let me know. I will be here for another couple of months. Same goes for OE BMW parts. I have hookups every where across this city just PM me.

[carsontl]

kpro maybe we can meet up some time and you can learn me a thing or two on my zhp? haha
