Which size alloy for the 535d touring?

Hi people,

I’ve done a search but does the 17” winter wheel fit over the brakes on the F11 535d msport touring?

I’ve checked real OEM and they list the 17’s for my car but the BMW accessories page says no?

Thanks in advance.

I have a 2015 F10 535d which has the same brake components as an F11 535d. The F10/F11 M Sport brakes are the same as those on the F10/F11 SE & Luxury models.
I run 17" BMW Style 327 wheels with no problem which would also fit your car.
You might find if you buy non-OEM wheels that they don't fit because the spokes are thicker and may not fit around the brake calipers, but I saw Cotswold were offering a set of 327's with winter tyres recently for about £700, which seems a very keen price.
Remember if you have TPMS (the silver valves rather than the black rubber ones) you'll need a set of TPMS valves on the winters as well unless you don't mind the iDrive bonging each time you start up.
Put your VIN into realoem.com and you can see for yourself which wheels will fit.

Hi Johnny thanks for the concise reply. I had a photo of my vin and I did just as you said, and it has put my mind at rest that I was right to go for the genuine BMW wheel and tyre set. Thanks.
I bought a set on EBay for a good price and £700 is very keen.

I'm a bit late to comment, also run the 17" Style 327 in winter on my 535i, which also has the same brakes (348x36).

The 17" does fit tight to the brakes, BMW have matched the fit.
