    Wheels and Tires

    I recently bought a 2010 BMW 760Li. Will the staggered M Parallel 18" wheels and tires from my previous car ( e38 740 il) work on this car?

    You're going to need to do just a little bit of homework...using some wheel/tire calculator sites.

    You may be able to use the wheels...but depending on the overall diameter/circumference requirment for tires...they may be the same or different (I'm not familiar with the f01 tire sizes).

    The Style 37 MPars wheel offset is and wheel specs are:
    • front wheel: 8"x18" w/13mm wheel offset
    • front tire: 235/55/18
    • rear wheel: 9.5" x 18" w/25mm offset
    • rear tire: 255/45/18



    The f01 wheels probably have a higher wheel offset vs the "medium" and "low" wheel offset of e38 Style 37 MPars. And again, you'll need to run the numbers through the wheel/tire calculator sites listed below to see how much "poke" & "inset" you may have when running the e38 wheels/tires on your f01:
    1. www.willtheyfit.com
    2. https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/



    Using the sites above...I determined that I could use my old e38's Style 37 MPars on my 2013 f06 650iX GC and mount them with dedicated winter tires.

    My f06 came with:
    • front wheels: 8.5"x20" w/33mm offset
    • front tires: 245/35/20
    • rear wheels: 9"x20" w/44mm offset
    • rear tires: 275/30/20


    And I was able to mount the e38 Style 37 MPars onto my f06 and they cleared the brake calipers as well as didn't stick out beyond the fenders (the fronts with their 13mm offset comes real close) and they don't rub the suspension. I have Michelin X-Ice xi3 winter tires mounted in the sizes below on the MPars:
    • front tire: 245/45/18
    • rear tire: 255/45/18


    You can see a comparison of the 18" Style 37 Mpars and the 20" Style 356 wheels in the pics below.

    When my car arrived, it had 20" BMW wheels that had been painted black with a sparkle in the paint. They are staggered. I like them a lot and plan to sell my 18" M pars. Thanks again.
