Does anyone know if a normal size (~225-17) tire will fit in the well after removing the space saver and the polystyrene? If it does, I'm going to buy a lone aluminum rim and "real" tire after I lose my RFTs... Anyone try this?

Although the E60 spare wheel well is quite deep, BMW have used some of the space in the bottom to locate some of the car's on-board electronics. I don't think a full-size wheel will fit, but please let us know if you try...
