Non RFT tyres on stock wheels

I have a 2006 325i / Sport Package with the stock 17" rims and the Bridgestone RE050 Runflat tyres. I am looking to replace the tyres with non-runflat tyres (from tirerack). Do non-runflat tyres fit on the stock rims or do I have to go with runflats again? I would prefer to avoid runflats.

Thanks in advance
Barry

Funny, I've never seen this question before...

Of course non-runflat tires fit on stock rims...try next time, you'll find any answer you need

Yes they will fit no problem, RFT or Non-RFT doesn't make a difference. I have non-RFT winters tires on my stock wheels.

No problem to use non runflat tires on the same wheels.
