The 2003 745Li currently has the staggered 19", 245/45 front and 275/40 rear. Thinking about getting the same front wheel size for the rear as well so it's all the same 245/45 19" all around and so the spare can be used on any of the four corners. Any thought. Many thanks.
I am not an authority (I'm sure those guys will chime in shortly ) but my knee-jerk reaction is....ick :thumbdwn:.
Technically I'm sure it's not an issue, but you're going to sacrifice some performance I imagine, and the 7ser without staggered wheels looks very ugly in my opinion.

yes i agree
looks ugly
will handle like piss
and is just a dumb idea
just keep the staggered wheel setup and if you get a flat you put the spare on simple problem solved, just put spare on to get home safely and order a new tired of the proper size it is was a rear tire
what would be the purpose of that? u want less traction for the wheels that drive the car? i dont know what is the reasoning behind this... because u wanna use a spare all the time?

Thanks for all the comments. LOLs...it's really not for saving money. I am more concerned about not being able to use the spare when you get a flat. I don't like RTFs.
UMMM DDL Dont you think the BMW Engineers thought of this when they put the factory spare in the car???? YOU CAN USE YOUR SPARE IF YOU GET A FLAT ... However you should only use a spare for a limited amount of time, hence the reason its called a spare.
If you want a 5th (in this case 5th and 6th) wheel you should invest in them if money is not a problem ... found on ebay all the time
DUH!!!!
I must be brain dead. They are all 19" just different width, so the spare is the same size of the front, so it can be used both front and rear.....never mind. Thanks all for your input.
