I logged into my TireRack.com account where I had a set of 21" winter tires saved and it is deleted. I manually enter the tire sizes and they're no longer available on the site. Did TireRack.com decide to stop carrying these or are the tires discontinued?

Pirelli has them still on their website but I'm not seeing them anywhere. Such BS on this whole winter setup thing.

My winter set up is 275/40/20 all around. You're good.

I have just test fitted my old F15 OEM 467M 19" staggered winter setup on my F85.

The front wheels fit with over 15mm of clearance between the brake caliper and the inner surface of the wheel and the rear side of the spokes. The clearance is much greater on the rear wheels.

So rather than spending out £3,300 on the F85 OEM 20" winter setup I will re-use my OEM F15 wheels with Nokian WR SUV3 tyres with 255/45/19 front and 285/40/19 rear.

The 19s from my F16 didn't clear my front calipers, I don't remember the style number but they were M wheels. I wonder why....

Those looks great, but do they clear the M brakes? I hope u say no, because Id rather have these than the OEM M 20s.

Good question...
They do not come up as a rim option for F85 but they are standard wheels for the M50d but it does not have M brakes but diameter is probably larger than mine.....
The wheels are M marked, what ever that means in terms of cars they fit, plenty of clearance on my F15 40d brakes.
What I like with them as winter wheels is the forgiving dual colour, very good on dirty winter roads.

Aren't these the standard 20" F85 wheels?

Ha. I like them and I like the price even better. What's the offset?

40mm. They were cheap which is what I was after. I think they look fine. No problems so far. Obviously the 21 OEM summers are much more appealing but these are a great affordable option for winters IMHO.

Makes sense. Any shots of the rear? Imagine it's pretty tucked at ET40. I just picked up a OE winter set (which has an ET32 offset) and am thinking about 20mm spacers in the rear.

My oem setup above have 20mm H&R spacers in the back just to give you an idea..

Who did you purchase these from? I cannot find a vendor anywhere. All stating it is a production issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
