In my documents I have 3 sizes:

205/60 R18
245/45 R19
245/40 R20 - which are installed.

I was looking for winter wheels and I found a bunch of 225/55 R18 but according to their specifications they are NOT compatible with MPA (whatever MPA means). 17" are not compatible with 03M2 (which is M Sport in glossy red).

Also there are a bunch of good wheels for previous F48. I can but 4 wheels (with sensors and everything) at a price of one original 19" rim but again, according to BMW they are not compatible.

For example 245/45 R19 is 8Jx19 ET46. Those that I've found are 8Jx19 ET47. Same PCD, same bore (they are from F48).
BMW insist that they will not work on my car and I have to buy ET46

So what is MPA and why I cannot use 225/55 R18 but I can use 205/60 R18.
The only MPA reference I can find is M Performance Automobiles.
