Bought snow tires... hope they fit.

Put 225/55/17s on my stock wheels... will they fit? 330xi if it makes a difference. Looks like the backs will be fine but I'm worried about the fronts hitting the fender liner when turning. Thanks in advance!

If it rubs you will hear it. If I were you I would steer the wheel full lock in a safe open area and go in circles forwards and backwards. If you hear rubbing steer the wheel and take a look will notice marks of the tire making contact if so your tires are too big. 225/45/17 is stock 225/50/17 might rub and I doubt 225/55/17 will work.

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to avoid putting them all on just to test them out haha. Wondering if anyone else has made this size work?

Gotcha... that site is a great resource, thanks man!

Those 100% will not fit. Way too big.

_austism · 11-04-2018, 06:59 PM

Antetokounmpo, yeah I did some measurements and it seems like it'll rub up front when turning. Probably just going to deal with it for a season. haha.

I should've by now, but haven't. Probably will in the next week or two and get back to you.
