Looking for oem wheels and tires for my 01' MC

limited info generic answer were the drums turned --most likely glazed over -shoe cam worn --or adjustment needed ---

Per Tire Rack, for a 2001 330ci you could use 235/35-19 front and 245/35-19 in the rear. Wider tires for the same profile increase the tire's effective diameter(think wheel well gap above the tire) and will change both the odometer and speedometer readings. Additionally, the wider tires may cause rubbing of the fender or other components while turning unless the fenders are flared out.
Caliper clearance should be checked, usually M3 uses bigger calipers than stock. While they may look cool installed, there are several disadvantages to lolwer profile tires such as harsh ride, unforgiving of potholes/speedbumps, wider width is worse for snow application (cause that floating feeling). The 2008 wheel will have the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) .
Both have a bolt pattern of 5-120.

Changing tires from the OEM size will cause this,and many other problems as well. Such as steering and handling. You will also be driving faster than your speedometer say`s.Shocks and struts and all the suspension parts will wear faster.Maybe the dealer could remove that display.

check the wheel balance, maybe the shop didn't do a good jobor some of the wheel weights fell off.

are we talking 0.010''-0.015'' inches and is this play in one ball joint or was the other tire fixed and tierod moving so the measurment taken across both tierods and is there any movement in the wheel bearings or is this movement rim to stud...but if you have this much play in one ball joint i would change it now,,if its over two i would change it soon

I HAVE FOUND CONTINENTAL BRAND TIRES TO GIVE A SOFTER RIDE.plus they have a one year road hazard on them. I installed a set on my wifes equinox and totally chenged the ride,handling

sounds like you have a brake claiper piston not return causing the brake pads to drag, jack up both wheels and spin to see if you can feel or hear drag, give the wheel a hard spin and see if it stops right away or seems to spin freely, could be the drag of the pads on the rotor, or wheel bearings need repack or even as much as brake residual fluid pressure on calipers cuased by improper brake mc pushrod adjustment, if you have had any recent brake work like a MC replacement it could be that it was not properly adjusted as far as pedal free play... check those.. please let me know if this helps, rate my help...thanks

my car has 15" rims, it works nicely, hmmm I'd say 16" rims are probly about as high as you could go without needing lower profile tires and keeping the car's performance...

Try going to the junk yard its gonna get expensive
