Can I use these rims on my BMW 1 Series?

Hello everyone,

I drive my BMW 1 Series 118i (E87, hatchback, 2006) with 18-inch Oxigin Concave rims (225/40/R18). These rims also have a vehicle approval.

Now I'd like to switch to Aluett Type 12 rims of the same size. I also found a certificate for these. Can I fit these rims on my 1 Series? It at least says something for (1)87.

Here is the report:

Hello

T88 tyres (LI 88) are only permitted for vehicles with additional axle loads up to 1120 kg (Fzg.-Schein, point 16 or approval certificate box 8).

T89 tyres (LI 89) only permitted for vehicles with additional axle loads up to 1160 kg (Fzg.-Schein, point 16 or approval certificate box 8).

A02 If a tyre size listed in this opinion is used, which is not already mentioned in the vehicle papers (including vehicle certificate, registration certificate I or COC paper), the data concerning the tyre size in the vehicle papers (vehicle certificate or certificate, registration certificate I) must be corrected by the approval body. This correction is not necessary if the ABE of the special wheel contains an exemption from the duty to correct the vehicle papers.

A04 The at least required speed ranges and load capacities of the tyres to be used, with the exception of the M+S profiles, shall be taken from the vehicle papers (vehicle letter and certificate, approval certificate I). Furthermore, only tyres of a tyre manufacturer and, for example, a profile type are permitted. If different profile types are used on front and rear axles, the suitability for the respective vehicle shall be confirmed by the tyre or vehicle manufacturer. This confirmation shall be carried by the driver of the vehicle.

A05 The suspension and the braking units, with the exception of the retrofit measures listed in the corresponding edition, must comply with the standard. The admissibility of further changes shall be assessed separately.

A08 If the standard replacement wheel is used, it should be operated at moderate speed and no longer than necessary. The standard fastening parts must be used. For vehicles with all-wheel drive only a replacement wheel with the same tire size or the same rolling circumference may be used.

A09 The tractors of the special wheels must be informed that the tyre filling pressure required by the tyre manufacturer must be taken into account.

A12 The use of snow chains is not permissible.

A14 For balancing the special wheels, only adhesive weights below the rim shoulder or the low bed may be attached to the rim outside. When applying the adhesive weights in the rim bed, care must be taken to a minimum distance of 3 mm to the brake caliper.

A19 Only tubeless tires and rubber valves or metal screw valves with external fastening are permissible which comply with DIN, E.T.R.T.O or Tire and Rim standards. Valves must be suitable for prescribed air pressures and must not project beyond the rim of the rim.

Flh The wheel/ripen combination is permissible for vehicle designs of the type of floor space (3-door and 5-door).

M01 Mounting of tyres is permissible only from the rim inside.

S01 Only the included fastening means No. S01 (see page 1) may be used for fastening the special wheels.

V18 If different tyre sizes are used on front and rear axles, the following tyre combinations are possible, provided that the tyre sizes are listed in the tyres column:

Front axle / rear axle

No 1 205/40R18 225/35R18

No 2 205/45R18 225/40R18

No 3 215/35R18 255/30R18

No 4 215/40R18 245/35R18, 255/35R18

No 5 215/45R18 235/40R18, 245/40R18

No 6 225/35R18 245/30R18, 255/30R18, 265/30R18

No 7 225/40R18 245/35R18, 255/35R18, 265/35R18, 285/30R18, 295/30R18

No 8 225/45R18 245/40R18, 255/40R18, 275/35R18, 285/35R18

No 9 225/50R18 245/45R18

apply. This confirmation shall be carried by the driver of the vehicle.

Only tyres of a manufacturer and, for example, a profile type for which the tyre or vehicle manufacturer confirms the suitability for the respective vehicle are permitted. The editions and references apply. This confirmation shall be carried by the driver of the vehicle.

Attention at V18 must be tested the rolling circumference and the clearance that is only related to the rim then A01 K2b K42 K46 R03 applies

A01 The original condition of the vehicle shall be certified by an officially recognised expert or examiner for motor vehicle traffic or a motor vehicle expert or an employee in accordance with point 4 of Appendix VIIIb to the StVZO on a certificate in accordance with the model published in the sample catalogue of §19 StVZO.

K2b The wheel cover on axle 2 is to be produced by placing the rear apron and the fender or by attaching permanently attached body parts in the range from 0° to 50° behind the wheel center. The entire width of the wheel/ripen combination must be covered in the above-mentioned area, taking into account the maximum possible operating dimensions of the tire (1.04 times the nominal width of the tire).

K42 A sufficient free movement of the wheel tire combination can be produced on axle 2 by reworking the wheel housing cut-out edges.

K46 On axle 2, a sufficient free movement of the wheel tire combination can be produced by reworking the wheel house interior fenders, plastic inserts or their fastening parts.

R03 This tyre size is permissible only on axle 2.

275, 285 and 295 with 30’s side wall on 8″ width is already “comparable”

And BMW releases a maximum of 215 on the E87 front axle, 225 only at M1/135i-M

Hello

Is that really the rims for the opinion 18×8 ET45??

The Oxigin Concave have 7.5″ and/or 8.5″ and ET35, which is still 1.5 cm wide at 8.5 and how did you get through the TÜV decrease with the oxigen?

The oxigin are A01, K1c, K2b, K41, K43, K46 that only goes with body construction and spray protection in the wheel throw area (e.g. BMW M1 Aprons)

The 1ner is a “compact car” or in the golf class there are “small” wheelhouses usual

How do you get that? My girlfriend has on her 1 E87 120d Bj 2006 also around 225/40/18 on 8×18 rims with ET45 AUTOEC type G8018

In the opinion, the same requirements as in the TS.

Hello

According to the opinion, READ the oxigin have 8.5 inch ET35 are therefore outside 16mm “Breiter” as 8″ ET45. And even on oxigin 7,5″ ET35 the fit (4mm latitude) in this respect there is the irritation that 8×18 ET 45 is probably more wide than 8.5×18 ET35 or 7.5×18 ET35

Tires are different “bread” or in the contour after assembly, some are “casual” some are more belly. The chests grind the ball rather at the top of the wheelhouse side part on the wheel running lip so it’s hard to say what’s still “fitting” but it’s about 3-5 mm not about centimeters

Hello

That’s not the point, it was already clear. It is now the case when attaching a “presumable” aluminum 8×18 ET45 wheel, which stands out from the contour at 12 o’clock about 1.5-2cm and the side part looks already “drawn”. Either someone has a 25mm distance welded/glued to the rim or it is 9″

On-line I find a maximum of 8.5×18 ET35 Type12 for VAG. At ATU you can find only type12 in 19″ online but not for E87

Yes, but it’s about him wanting to drive the aluminium (Bavaria Technik GmbH) 8×18 ET45 with 225/40/18 front and rear.

The report lists its vehicle, with this tyre size and with requirements.

It cannot be seen from the supports, if the vehicle is otherwise standard, it should not drive these rims at the front and rear with 225/40/18.

Hello

presumably you have 7.5″ oxigin on it the fit still under it and are especially on the front axle on the suspension leg still free-running enough for 225 tires

8″ are about 20cm, 7.5 are 18.5 and 8.5 are about 21cm “hornmaul width” plus rim wall thickness

http://www.reifencomputer.at/index.html?

The maximum passes permitted by BMW on the HA is 225/40 8×18 ET 49 that are 5mm further inside on the horn (10mm less overall track) and you had to change the lip if not already on work (6 cylinder types, M package)

https://www.reifencomputer.at/index.html?&1rb=225&1rh=40&1throughm=18&1fb=8&1et=45&2rb=225&2rh=40&2throughm=18&2fb=8&2et=49

Otherwise, you have to remeasure the track and because fall, but due to ageing/wear, the axle sits and becomes “jointing” (more flexible) and gets more fall, so “top” more air in the wheel box than in the new state
