Default Another wheel fitment example

I'm looking for a set of winter wheels and found some style 262's and wondering if they would fit my 535xi. Based on my current style 277's I don't think this should be a problem. I looked at willtheyfit.com and it seemed to be okay but since you guys are more experts at this than me, thought I would throw it your way.

If the Style 262s are staggered, you may have a problem since the rolling circumference needs to be the same on all four corners on a AWD car. What tires are you planning to use?

Fair point, the seller says they aren't staggered but the online guide says they should be, if staggered I won't bother. They have Goodyear winter runflats on them that I will be most likely replacing with Michelin X-ice's at 205/50/17

Just a note of caution... a 205 tire may be too narrow for the weight of a 535 wagon. Check the load range of the tire. Generally, 225s are the narrowest you can go on an E60.

Thank you! Forgot to think about that.

Also found some Style 159's from a 335i with 225/45/17 winters on them that I'll look into. Load rating should be fine. Offset is 34 but I think that should be okay. They'll stick out a centimeter more than my current ones but think that should be okay.
