    Replacing 195 65 14 tires

    Hello, I'm having a hard time finding 14" tires for my '91 318is. Has anyone ever replaced 195/65/14 tires with either 185/70/14 tires, which are a slightly narrower but taller option, or 205/60/14 tires, which are a wider but shorter option?

      Tirerack sells 195/65R14 Michelin tires, which are period correct.

          Ok thank you Vincenze! I just ordered them. I was gonna try to find 15" BBS euroweave wheels but I'd rather keep my 318is original. ;-)

              before you buy any more basketweaves, wash your car, and the wheels, three or four times.

              weaves are a PITA to keep clean
