Does anyone know if an i3 (2019 base model) can be fitted with run flat tyres.  Web searches suggest that in USA they have no problem with this but in UK I am still finding conflicting information as to whether they can or cannot be fitted to the supplied OEM wheels ?

Morning Mike

As far as I know modern run flat tyres don't need special rims 

A good tyre company should be able to advise whether they are available as run flat in your size. I think most manufacturers recommend that the car has a working Tyre Pressure monitoring system before they are fitted

Good Luck with the hunt

      But What size front are 225x?x? rear the same 255x?x? If wheels are 17" they should be 7.5J rims 18" 8.0J rims 19" should be 8.0J all round or if wider rears then 8j front and 9j rear The ONLY wheel set that has wider rear rims is 19" so if your car has 17" or 18" wheels the tyres are probably wrong just checking the width does not make them correct Dave

      Hi Cameron That sounds wrong for an X! to me unless the rear wheels are wider than the front If your wheels are 17" tyre size should be 225x50x17 94H front and rear 18" Wheels tyres should be 225x45x18 or if wider rims at the rear 255x40x18 at the back 19" rims tyres should be 225x40x19" front 255x35x19" rear As I have said check very carefully if the rear tyres are 255 but should be 225 then the distance they cover each rotation will be to much of a difference between front and rear and will cause damage Dave
