I have a 97 528i w stock BMW 15 inchers- Can I use my Michelin Artic Alpine 205/60/15 tires? I currently have 225/60/15 Goodyears on.Thanks

You can use them but the tire i shorter than the OE tire by 9/10". You would have a much bigger gap in the wheelwell and also the speedometer and odometer would be off. The 205/65R15 would be a much better size for your car. If I can help with the tires, or if you have any other questions, give me a call. Thank you Jim 800-428-8355-364
