Hey Guys, hope all is going well. Just looking for some of your opinion. I recently purchased 225/45/18 BridgeStone Blizzak tires for my 2006 530i w/Sports Package.

I haven't mounted these tires just yet, but was wondering if you think the 45 series tires might be too big for the sports package?


Thanks
Mike

The tires you purchased are close in (physical) size ... the table is shown below. I think the standard sport wheels are OK - always have to be careful about matching up wheel width with tire size to avoid distortion. You should also confirm the load capacity is suitable for your car. That is listed on the tire. My guess is that it's close enough to be safe.

Thanks. I'll try to see if that works. It looks like it should be good. But it's gonna be close.
