Default 14" Wheels?

Will 14" wheels fit on the xB w/o issues? The exact size in question is 14X6.5 et 30. Its a BMW basket weave wheel from an E30. Found some for a decent price and if they'll fit, they just might become my auto-x wheels.

As long as they are 4X100 lug pattern , it should be fine.

In the 1990's it wasn't too bad finding good/decent 14" tires at good prices.
Since the late 1990's till now, 14" is a dying bread of tire size. Sure, there still out there, but less selection to choose from.

I'm using the early 4 lug Prius 14" wheels. They fit fine and they're hub centric to boot. The Prius tires and wheels were 6 pounds less than the stock steelies without hubcaps.

I would imagine that it'd fit just fine; perhaps throw on some hub spacers to widen the tracks.

I actually wouldn't mind me a set of 14"s..nice and lightweight.

For an xA .... or a smaller car , it could be very good.

On average, a 14" will be lighter then anything else out there(not including a 13" ) , wheel and tire.

Diameter, should be fine, but check the Hub bore size, it might be smaller and in that case they will NOT work.

They should fit fine. Echos came with 14 inch standard.

I was actually curious in trying out the 13s" from my old school Corolla, but it's a different offset. Plus, I think it'll be too small of a rim size for my box.
