Tyre sizes
What are the tyre sizes on the 19" 351M's?
I'm considering ditching the rft's for standard tyres.

Really? my MSport 18"s are definitely different size's (245 front and 275 rear).
Edit: Just checked the car and definitly 245 front, 275 rear. Last edited by Beancounter_74; 01-31-2014 at 05:56 AM.. |

Damnit - my E91 325d was staggered - went up to 18" rims ..... so was looking at some aftermarket wheels for this F11 and thought I had to get 8.5J Front, and 9.0J Rear - lucky this thread cropped up!
From the 'Build Yer BMW' feature:- - F11 530d = 19" light alloy Double-spoke style 351 M, 8.5J x 19", 245/40 R19 run-flat tyres. - F10 530d = 19" light alloy Double Spoke style 351M, 8.5J x 19, 245/40 R19 tyres (front), 9J x 19, 275/35 R19 tyres (rear).

I agree with Speedy. You get far more useful information from fellow owners compared to BMW.

There must be a reason why they spec same wheels all round for the Touring ?

Does the F11 have a spare wheel?

I'm quite sure you wouldn't lie.
I realise that they do but the F11 might have room for a wheel-well and hence they don't provide wheels to wide to fit in it, whether they have RFTs or not. I don't have an F11 so I don't know that to be the case, just speculating.

I may end up swapping the RFT's for normal tyres and get a puncture repair kit.

No but does it have a wheel-well in the boot floor?

Don't know why they don't put on staggered wheels on the rest of them, but the F11 has a totally differnt rear suspension than the F10, but there's still room for the OEM staggered wheels.
