15 inch steel rim possible?

I just sold my 318ti and wanted to use the same winter wheel set on the 135i. Will the 15 inch steel wheels fit? I pretty sure it won't but just wanted confirmation.

Thanks in advance! This is a great site!

17" is as small as you can go with the Brembos.

No, won't fit at all.

BMW makes a set of 17" steelies, I had them on my E46 330i ZHP. I only got these because of a great deal $350 shipped, with Conti winters on them.

If I had to get winters again, I'd get a set of cheap 17" alloys from TireRack. Steelies were heavy, rusted and didn't cover the center wheel (required some really weird center covers that are hard to mount).

That was a great price as I paid $650 for 16" BMW steel wheels with mounted Blizzaks from Tire Rack nearly 10 years ago. I'm still using the wheels during the winter on my E46 (they take standard hubcaps).

I tried 16" Kosei sp? from Tirerack to mount drag radials and they did NOT fit the rear. Definately not the front, but I was hoping the would clear the rear, but nope!
