Gen2 rims on Gen1

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm looking for winter rims and have a possible deal on some 16" Bridgespokes from a Clubman.  They're 4x100 obviously, but I know they changed from 12 to 14 for the studs.

It should still fit on my R53 with my existing 12mm studs though yes?  I don't have a BBK.  TMPS doesn't enter into it as they're no on the rims to begin with and my gen1 uses ABS...  

Anything else I'd need to do to make these fit?

	I'm no expert but from what I understand, actually all of the rims have holes big enough to go on either car, so you shouldn't have any problem with the setup you are describing.

	That's what I figured, just wanted to run it by more knowledgeable people in case. Never had the occasion to change my wheels from what came with.

	second Kurt's statement, gen 2 fits gen 1, FYI if they don't take out the TPMS units that you don't need you may be able to pick up a few extra bucks.
	If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.
