Hi,

I have a 2007 328i convertible and would like to know if the wheels below will fit. How can I tell?

235/40R18 95W
265/35R18 93W

Thanks

I guess you could check the plate on the door frame which gives the pressures for the different tyre sizes, or the owners handbook if you have one. The owners area of the BMW website is a good place to check to, look in the accessories section for alloy wheels. It will list the sizes available by model.

They might physically fit but the overall diameter is too large, so the speedometer will read lower than your true speed.

I assume you mean tires instead of wheels. And it would depend on the wheel/rims that you have in order to determine if those tires will fit the wheels/rims you want to put them on. You can easily go from 225 to 235 or 245 to 255.
