Will a 225/55/17 fit and run fine on the E60 2006 530i sport edition ? or will it rub....

Anybody with this setup on the sport?

Thanks!

Is your stock size 245/40/18 ? If it is, the difference in diamaters is about 4% or 26mm bigger. Not recommended as anything above 2.5% will mess with your speedo

Well, as far as I understand the speedodometer deal is just a reference for the driver on how fast the car is going.....

But I would want to know if I could really have that size tire on and able ...

possible?
