Winter wheels & tires for 650i GC
Anyone know a good winter/snow wheel & tire set for a 2016 650i xdrive GC that I can buy complete?
I don't need anything fancy. Just something that rides well and looks somewhat decent though looks are not top priority. Thanks for any help.

If you want original- you can only go with 18´

Anyone have any thought on this setup?:
http://prntscr.com/ddcfrb I have 2016 650i xDrive GC I admit I know nothing about wheel size and tires. I have 19's on now and these are 17's. I'm assuming the tire O.D. is larger to make up the difference. I would like to get something soon but really need help/advice. Thanks for any info. J

My preference has always been to find a good looking solid wheel, perhaps OE, and use that. I would worry about using a $145 wheel on this car. It's a heavy car and cheap cast wheels aren't the greatest. Based on that wheels's comments about where you have to locate weights the 17" wheel barely fits and probably isn't a good idea for a winter wheel with the potential for rocks snow and ice between the wheel and caliper. As far as tires are concerned, I am a huge fan of Nokian. I personally run Nokian Hakkapaliitta * studded snows, but the Hakka R non studded is a great tire as well. They wear like iron and are the best snows I have ever used. You get a little tire squirm if pushing them because they are deep treads and soft, but tires are all about compromises. decide what you desire mst in a snow tire, and pick your tire based on that quality. If it is traction in snow and ice, You won't regret a set of Nokians.

Thanks!!!!! I too was concerned about the fitting over the brakes. I just started looking at 18" and will probably go that route. Question - What offset should I get? Sorry but total noob about this. Thanks again!

offset will depend on wheel width - do you have the 351's now? its an 8.5" wheel. can stay with that. could go smaller, but skinnier tires have problems of their own, especially on a big, heavy car like the 650.

I run 17's Winters on my 640D over here...looking around though the 650's have larger brakes.
Mine on 17's the clearance is SFA, you cannot get a microfibre between the wheel and front caliper (the rear is better but still "tight"). You definitely need 18's for the 650. |

Thanks. Took a shot with the black. Not sure how I feel about them yet. Of course my 17 year old son loves them.

They don't look bad at all!
Studded? How do they handle, dry and snow? |

Just got them on last night. Dry road they handle and feel good. Snow starting tonight through tomorrow so I'll try them out then.

Drove them in only about 1/2" snow last night. Couldn't really go too fast on the roads near me but quick accelerations and sudden stops were handled really well.
