Strongly prefer local pick up but might consider shipping at buyer's expense.

that link says the tire should be 155/70-18 (Maxxis) but your pics are showing 135/80/18 which is narrower?

seeing this too...I have M Sport and would love to take this from you but I am unsure if it will fit those brakes....

[KmanM3]

I think they changed sizes somewhere along the line. Anyone is welcome to test fit before buying if you would like.

yes but that means your tire isn't from bimmerzone but rather from Tirerack? Bimmerzone still sells the same 155/70-18 for F10 so they didn't change anything. The 135/80-18 works but narrower. what is that adapter you have in the plastic bag for may I ask?

The quote I was referencing is "Bimmerzone is now selling a spare kit, they have packaged basically what I have done here though they've used the 135/80-18 as TireRack sells instead of the Maxxis 155/70-18 for those that don't want to go- à la carte."

The adapter is the "centering ring" as Bimmerzone and that post also describes. The spare wheel hubs are slightly larger than the BMW hub so the ring makes up the difference and keeps the wheel centered on the hub.

I am not really trying to break your chops as I am very interested in this if it fits right. However, I want it to be somewhat safe if I need to use the spare. In comparing the two tires, 155/70-18 and 135/80-18, the latter is much more narrower. That post is but someone's opinion because I can't find the 135/80-18 on bimmerzone.com for the F10 - only found it for the E90 http://www.bimmerzone.com/product/BIM-SST-E90-KIT.html

The F10 remains to be a 155/70-18 http://www.bimmerzone.com/product/BIM-SST-F10-KIT.html

No problem. I can mount it on my car this weekend and post pics. If there are any specific clearances you want to see let me know.

[KmanM3]

I e-mailed Bimmerzone today and Vincent confirmed these are interchangeable tire sizes for F10.

[KmanM3]

Test fitted today and everything fits perfectly.
