What OEM wheels/tires fit a 2015 528i xdrive?

JP06 · 03-06-2024, 04:59 AM

This is my first BMW, a 2015 528i XDrive. It is completely stock. Right now it has OEM 225 55 17 tires with factory 17" wheels, but the tires need to be replaced. I was curious if there were other OEM wheel/tire sets that would fit my car... thinking maybe I would upgrade the wheels at the same time as the tires. What would everyone recommend in this scenario? Can I go to 18 or 19 on this vehicle? Without doing anything to the suspension? I would like to stay OEM.

When buying these cars new you could choose 17" up to 20", all with no suspension changes so you have nothing to worry about.

This page has pictures and the style number of almost all of the wheels available so if you particularly like a style just search for its name on eBay.

Appreciate the reply and link. Super helpful!

Is there conventional wisdom about which size works best? I live in New England (winters, potholes, etc) and it's my daily driver. Performance is important but not the only thing. What do most folks go with (or what did they go with originally?)

Also, I assume tire profile will have to be lower to keep the same total diameter. Is there a resource that will help me with the tire sizes required if I go to 18, 19, or 20"?

Thanks!

Sorry for all the noob questions...I see a lot of "staggered" sets out here for sale. Is this irrelevant for the F10?

If you are worried about potholes and not looking to lower your car, I think going with 18" or maybe 19" would be fine.
OEM tire sizes are 245/45/18 or 245/40/19.
