In Reply to: Question about M5 wheels? posted by Brad on December 17, 2000 at 18:14:44:

I have the exact same wheels and tires that came on the M5 on my 97 528i non-sport. They are alot better than the wagon wheels I had on it before.


Looking to buy some M5 wheels. the sizes are 8" x 18" front, 9.5" x 18" rear. I have a 1997 528i and was wondering what size tires would fit the rear wheels. I think M5 comes with 275/35ZR18 in the rear. Would a 245, 255, or 265 fit this wheel as well? When anyone just put 245 all around since that is the size on the front or is there an advantage to having larger tires in the rear? Could you buy the 8" x 18" for both the front and rear or would that screw things up? Thanks for any insight.
