RE: M3 wheels, tires

 Uh?  Sounds like you should have bought a 328i to begin with:)

Hi all,In case anyone wants to know : I've successfully mounted 16"
rims +
tires to my 1997 M3 sedan. The 17" standard equipment is great, but at
$1000 per
set of Michelins, expensive too. So, Tirerack supplied 16" Borbet type
Trims, 
with 5mm spacers for the front, and Michelin Pilot XGTH4's (225/50
x16), all 
for the cost of a new set of Pilot MXX3's. Works fine ! But now :
Fronts and rears are the same size, so with rotation I'll get
about40,000 
miles per set, not 12,000 miles.
Noise is reduced, ride smoother, gas mileage about 2 mpg. better.
All season tread at least gets me home in the season's first snow.
I could like this car !Doug C.,   Reno
