Winter Setup question

one_driver · 11-18-2011, 04:35 PM

Hey guys, have an interesting question for my (potential) winter setup. I have my 2011 135i, and have been offered a free set of barely used snows off of a friends old 2008 528xi. The tires as I understand off the 5 series were 225/50/17s, and I am unsure of the width (if anyone knows what that was on the OEM wheels). The wheels that I have been looking into are the Sport Edition A7's off of tire rack, which recommend a fitment of a tire 205/50/17s. I understand the tire will be a little bit taller, but I guess my main question is do we have the same hub size as the e60 5 series, and whether or not the width will come into play if I decide to go this route. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I should clarify, I found out tonight that he in fact has two setups that he is willing to give to me off the old 528xi, one with rims and one without. Do our cars have the same hub size as the e60 5 series? Because if so that would save me the entire cost of the winter setup. If anyone knows any information is appreciated.
