535iX M Sport Winter Tire Selection

Kayman · 03-03-2011, 06:44 PM

I am confused and wish your assistance. I have a new 535iX M Sport with all season (ugh) style 351

Front/Rear: 19x8.5, 245/40 R19. I would like to buy an oem set of BMW 18"s for winter rubber but can't get a straight enough answer why I can't have the set I want to work/fit. I would like style 328 Front/Rear: 18x8.0, 245/45 R18. Will these work proper or not? No issues with rubbing or wheel crank?... The dealer says I have only one choice and these ain't them.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated

I think your dealer is wrong. Page 74 on the 2011 BMW order guide shows standard rims are 237, on page 77 it shows the rims are 18 x 8. I have BMW 350m 18 inch rims with winter tires on my 550ix with 245/45/18 Dunlop winter sport M3 nonRFTs. (see photo) I replaced OEM Goodyear LS2 all season RFTs with Michelin Pilot PS2 noRFTs for summer. Good luck!

Here is the order guide, check out pages 74 and 77. Hope it helps!

As indicated in this post (http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthre...=489836&page=2) I'm running BMW M6 Replica wheels (18" x 8") with 245/45/18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM 25 Runflat tires and the size is correct.

BMW Canada only have 1 18" wheel style 281 available as a set (Winter tire is Dunlop WS 3D Runflat). This is what I have on mine

If you really want the style 328 (definitely will work/fit), you would have to buy them at the dealer which are priced very high. (or source it elsewhere, like US - at a much more reasonable price)

In US, this sells for $310 per. Add shipping of $150(set of 4) + customs & taxes (20-25%) on top = approx. $1700 - $1800 range for set of 4

Alternatively, you can always consider aftermarket wheels as well. Just make sure the offset is 30 (+- 2 would be fine) for the 18*8 wheel. VMR wheels are nice !

Hi 5Fix,

After reading some of the postings on run flats, I am confused. Can non run flat tires be installed on any BMW oem wheels F10/F11. Or are there any specific OEM wheels on which non run flat tires can be installed.

I see that you have 350m style wheels and installed non run flat tires on them.

Thank you
Subba

I replied to another message you posted. I have installed nonRFTS on 350m (winter) and 351m (summer) rims and did the same on my e60 550i for four years with no problems.
