2017 Zl1 Winter tires/wheels
Sorry, I know this is asked a lot.
But most of the threads are bogged down with "don't drive in the winter", or "you're an idiot, buy a beater". I'm just looking for a yes or no answer. Will it fit? Not its ugly... Buy a beater... Guns don't kill people mustangs kill people... I have looked for hours and maybe I just suck at using the search button, but I still haven't found a solid answer. Will this fit on my ZL1? If not, what is the smallest wheel I can use for winter? All specs (size/offset/etc...) Picture attached, text version below. Thanks.

in for answers but I think you have to go at least 19" rims to clear the front brakes

The best advice I can give is to call tire rack customer service. They're generally pretty good about only recommending things that will actually fit and I'm pretty sure they garuntee it. If they're willing to put in writing that they'll fit and you can get a refund if they don't, go for it.
My boss drives a hellcat with 275 series all seasons on it all winter and he hasn't died yet, so I say go for it. It's also cheaper than flat spotting the summer tires in storage. |

I've a 2SS 1LE which has similar brakes than a ZL1.
And most 18" wheels do NOT clear the brakes. I'd go with 19" on 245/45/R19 tires. I'm running these wheels: https://www.replika.ca/productinfo.a...o_zl1-zl1_s_pp Make: BMW Model #: R163A Size: 19x8.5 P.C.D.: 5x120mm Offset: +20 Finish Gloss Silver Bore: 72.6 mm Seat: 60° Lip Size: N/A Weight: 28.6 lbs Load Rating: 1620 lbs / 735 kg Winter Approved Finish: Yes Good luck! |

I noticed you said +20 for the offset. Is that number essential? I've noticed a large number of 19" wheels have +30 or more on tire rack. |

And I currently have my eye on these.
Unless I can start finding 20" winter tires for a lot cheaper. Any thing I need to be aware of with this setup? Cosmetics and speed performance not a concern during the cold months, just cold weather traction and safety. Thanks for the feedback. |
