Hi everyone,

My car atm has 205/45 R16, which is strange as the specs my car should have according to BMW are 205/55 R16.

However, when I type this into the various tyre companies using 205/55 R16, it does not accept with my reg number. I have checked the tyres that are on the car and they are 205/45 R16. I took it to a BMW garage and they said it looks like the previous owner put 45s on instead of 55s to lower the car slightly. He insisted that I should put 55s back on. 

Do you agree with this as I need 4 tyres, Also he said that normally the front and rears can also be different but not in my case.

Many thanks

Hi Joseph

You can check the correct BMW recommended tyre and wheel sizes and alternatives using www.realoem.com it is a BMW online parts list just put the last 7 digits of your Vin number into the search box it will bring up your model then check the relevant section.

205 55 R16 seems about right
