Will 225/45 R 17” work with M550?

I sold my M235 and am curious if these wheels and tires I mentioned that I had for my car will work with an M550?

No, 19" is the smallest I believe you can fit to clear the brakes.

EDIT: 18" is the smallest wheel you can run with M sport brakes on these cars.

Would be interesting to see how 17" wheels would look on these cars though.

Also, the bolt circle is 5x112 on the G30, which may be different on the M235i. I had winter wheels from my F30 I wanted to use but couldn't because they were 5x120.

are the M550i brakes bigger than the Msport brakes on a 540i? 370mm discs? 18" wheels should clear them??

Sorry, I thought I had posted that 18" was the smallest wheel that would clear the M sport brakes, but apparently I posted 19" is the smallest which is incorrect.

18" is the smallest wheel that will clear the M sport brakes.

I've updated my post. Good catch!
