Wheel by wheel: offset and tyres

Each original wheel from Alpina B3 is compared with the one from Bentley Azure of the same diameter: how much closer the wheel gets to the shock absorber or how far it sticks out of the wheel arch, and whether the tyre keeps the same overall diameter.

  • ≈7.5Jx19 ET36 · 245/35R19 — Fits like the original

    Compared with the original ≈8Jx19 ET47 on Bentley Azure: shock absorber side −17.4 mm, wheel arch side +4.7 mm, tyre diameter −8.1 % : fit it with the original tyre size of Bentley Azure (255/45R19), not that of Alpina B3. Comparison for guidance only (estimated width). Check in detail

  • ≈8Jx19 ET36 · 255/35R19 — Check on the car

    Compared with the original ≈8Jx19 ET47 on Bentley Azure: shock absorber side −11 mm, wheel arch side +11 mm, tyre diameter −7.2 % : fit it with the original tyre size of Bentley Azure (255/45R19), not that of Alpina B3. Comparison for guidance only (estimated width). Check in detail

Before fitting the wheels

An identical hub is not enough: offset, width and diameter change the position of the wheel, and larger calipers can touch a smaller wheel. Original wheels often use bolts or nuts with a specific seat: keep the fixings intended for the wheel, with the thread of Bentley Azure (-), tightened to the torque shown on its vehicle page. Finally, check that the size is among the approved fitments for your vehicle. This comparison is for guidance only: have the fitting approved by a professional.
