question for Gary

[vmasaun]

Hi Gary,

I am looking at purchasing a set of used winter wheels and tires from another bimmerfester. He purchased the set for an '06 330i and I will be getting an 07 335i coupe w/ sport package. Below is the description of the package:

wheels - ASA JH3 17x7.5 (without TPMS)
tires - Blizzak Revo 1

Questions:

1. Will this package work for my '07 335i coupe with sport package?

2. BMW dealer told me that these Wheels cannot be retrofitted with TPMS. Is that true?

3. If these wheels will work for me, where can I find the correct TMPSs on tirerack.com? Is there an OEM part number available?

Thanks

1. As long as these are the 32mm offset version they will clear the brakes and work well on the 335i.

2. He is incorrect. You may purchase the OE sensors from him or me and they'll work with those wheels no problem.

3. The sensors aren't online for individual sale, but I can sell them to you over the phone, $49 per corner which includes the sensor and stem (everything you'll need).

Thanks for the quick response Gary. Follow up question:

1. How can I verify that they are the 32mm offset version? I don't have access to the wheels as they are in Florida? What information could I ask for from the seller to verify this?

Thanks

The exact part number of the Wheels is JH37621 - Silver

[Gary@Tirerack]

I think that is the 40mm offset version, which will not clear without spacers. The seller can verify this by checking the back of the wheel to see if it says "ET40" or "ET32" (that number being the offset.
