Help me out ,I recently purchased a 2007,525i.I live in Toronto Canada.I needed a set of winter tires , so I picked up wheels style 50
detail as follows;
Name Radial Spoke Style 50
Rim Type Cast Alloy
Rim Size 16 x 7.0 inches

Tire Size 225/55R-16

I have called at least 5 different service advisers at 5 dealers ,all are telling me that 16" are not compatible with 2007,525i.( BMW website does show 16" as available size for 525i.).
Does 16" wheels clear calipers?
Thanks
:dunno:

check tire placard on door jamb. if 16inch listed there...should be good. if not test fit it on one.

No placard on door Jamb

ok...that is just odd.

according to manual shows 225/55R16 95H

so you should be good to go. i presume the rims you have are of proper offset? Rim size is not the only factor that impacts proper fitment.

Thanks Chris , I will try to fit one tire and check caliper clearance with a mirror.
