In Reply to: 535i/is WILL take a 225/50-16 tire, if... posted by Pat Hines on April 08, 2001 at 14:20:25:

The wheel has a 20mm offset 17 x 8. I also have the car lowered and the wheels NEVER rub. I also ran BBS 16 x 7.5 with 225/50-16 also no rubbing.

Why does an M5 e-28 use a 225-50-16 while
an E-28 535 of the same year(86-88) only able to accomodate
a 205-55-16......??
(535: rolling the rear lips is only way to go to a 225 without rubbing ) WHY ??


The 535i/is will readily accomodate a 225/50-16 tire on wheels with the proper offset, 20 mm.
