Anyone? I've just bought 4 new rims (16". 6.5J. 4 STUD. PCD 114.3 ET. 44) to go on my 1987 318i, I bought these without tyres, what tyres will be best (make/size) also am I going to need any spacers?? Thanks :)

pcd is wrong, need a pcd of 100, and 44et!!

35et is the limit really 24et is ideal, so spacers required

as kos says your pcd is totally wrong. pcd needs to be 100. and then et 24/25 is ideal. plus a wider wheel than 6.5" would be better IMO

Not even remotely BMW fitment related. I'd be asking for my money back!
