Do you sell wheel/tire packages?

Pelican Parts Wheel FAQ
Yes we do - and we will be adding this information to the website shortly. The advantage of purchasing a wheel/tire package is that you are eliminating the need to have your wheels and tires balanced by your tire shop - we do that for you. Not only does this save you the money that it would cost at an independent tire shop, you also reduce the risk of that tire shop damaging the wheels.

What wheel/tire sizes can I go to on my E46?

E46 FAQ by Kris Linqusit
Several people have successfully installed 18" wheels on their E46's, however it is unlikely that this improves performance over a 17" wheel.

Both are sized 7.5x17-inch (front) and 9x17-inch (rear), but there are two distinct finishes: Early M coupes (S50 and S52 engines) feature a Chromeline finish, while the later models (S54 engine) utilize a darker Chrome Shadow finish.

Is it easy to mount a tire on a wheel? Can I do it myself?

Costco Tires FAQ
Never try to mount your own tires. Tire mounting is a job for the people who have the proper equipment and experience. If you try to do it yourself, you run the risk of serious injury to yourself as well as possible damage to the tire and rim. Never choose a smaller size than those that came with the car. Tires should always be replaced with the same size designation -- or approved options -- as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

What should be considered in choosing a wheel and tire package?
