Will Steel Rims Fit?

I'm wondering if there are some steel rims available that will fit the big breaks of the M235 (xDrive). I just bought one and i need cheap wheel options for Quebec winters.

I don't think so steel rims I remember are 16 or 17 inch. You need minimum 18 inch rims to clear the brakes. Only certain set of 17inch rims can clear it but you will have barely 1/2 inch of space before it touches the brakes, dangerous in the winter if you get ice or rocks stuck in there....

You confused me, those are fine. Alloy wheels for F22, like it says. I thought you mean this, this is steel rims.

Sorry,

I originally meant steel wheels. But since you said that no steels will fit, I asked if those alloys will work.

Sorry for the confusion

I've been to Montreal once. You guys have beautiful strippers and awesome "massage" parlors. I hope you find a solution to your winter troubles. OH and the poutine... how could I forget. There's a great little place I went to... I forget where.. but they put foie gras on top of that sh*t. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! FOIE GRAS ON TOP OF POUTINE?! I'll let you know if I ever remember the name.

Very likely that they fit, I have 17" versions of these on my 228i. My brakes are just Sport-Line so they're smaller than your 235i x-drive but I do have plenty of space. It also looks like the shop I bought mine from recommend them for the 235i too. I'm pretty satisfied with them, if you look closely they're certainly not OEM quality but for winter the price was right.
