Is it possible to put 17" wheels instead of the stock 16" wheels on a 2006 BMW 325i?

Feb 03, 2007 by Brian S | Posted in BMW

I have a 2006 BMW 325i with the stock 16" aluminum wheels. Is it possible for me to put 17" wheels and tires in the well, or will that mess something up? I'm hoping to install some new chrome wheels, but I don't know if that'll be a problem.

Yes, you can install 17 inch wheels on your 325i provided the wheels are Bona-fied BMW hub centering wheels with the correct width and offset. If you have the wheels available, it would be very wise to mount the new wheels as a trial on both the front

TGIM: Is IndyCar Watching Too Much NASCAR?

But perhaps the biggest reason for open-wheel racing growing up with a heightened sense of sportsmanship around it were the open wheels. Probably to the point where drivers are now taking more chances than they would have when driver deaths came in batches in open-wheel racing. And if that perception had truth to it, and I think it does to some degree, then reasons for it vary widely. Advances in safety have made Indycar wrecks infinitely more survivable over the years. There was haunting truth to the words of wonderful sports writer Jim Murray when he famously typed out this line in a story about the Indianapolis 500: “Gentleman, start your coffins. In Indycars up until very recently, there were few small wrecks.

The last image shows what the wheels could look like if you decided to polish them and buy new bolts. They are really rare(150 sets made in the U. S. ), lightweight (@19-20lbs), and a 2-pc wheel that still looks good today even 16 years later. If you have the time/skills, you can make these wheels look awesome. Two of the wheels haven't been refinished and two have. The wheels are in pretty good shape. They have a few small bends on the inner part of the wheels, but nothing too bad. I already polished a set and bought new hardware. They are definately in need of either being painted or striped and polished. The two that have been refinished were bead-blasted to remove the failing clearcoat, primed, and painted. I was going to refinish these, but don't have the time. I am looking for $650 plus shipping.
