I'm after some metric tyres, or preferrably wheels and tyres, that were fitted to the (i think) E34 5-series. I have some on my Monza, but 2 of the tyres are borderline at best. I don't do many miles so they don't need to have masses of tread, just enough for a couple of thousand miles. Wheels look like these in the photo in case anyone doesn't know:  Can anyone help? |

Imperials will fit too, & those wheels look GM anyway as the same style was fitted to later Senators etc. Ball park price? Can exchange (plus cash) for some scrap wheels if you need to keep the car rolling. |

Can exchange (plus cash) for some scrap wheels if you need to keep the car rolling. I think they are metrics from the prices of the tyres IIRC the ones fitted on there are 225/60/15. Looking for £100 for them. I've got another set of the exact same wheels with knackered tyres on, so good for keeping the car rolling. Just left these ones on as the insurance are coming out today to assess the damage. Wouldn't look good on shat tyres  |

On a metric tyre, the imperial wheel size is replaced by a metric size in mm. I think the imperial eqivelant of my wheels would be 15.5 inches or thereabouts! |

aye, 390mm or 15.5" ish. had a nosey round ours for the last two days mate, haven't turned any up  If I do I'll let you sharpish. Dan- if you thought those 225/60 15"s were pricey, metrics can be upto £220 EACH if you can get them  similar width and offset as the metrics tho (225 tyre, et20), maybe that makes them a bit more tempting? you could also fit 220/55 390's from e28 m535i's and there was a similar sized jag metric.  |

Some Granada Mk2s had metric alloys too if that helps? Also might be worth trying Top Gear Tyres, Rossmore Ind. Est, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire as they have thousands of part worns in stock. |
