235/50/17 on 17 x 7.5 ET32 ? fitment

chowser51 · 08-25-2020, 06:15 AM

Currently running 225/50/17 snow tires on 17 x 7.5 ET32 wheels.
Wanted to put regular tires on these wheels for my daughter (going back to runflat). Would 235 be a stretch on the 7.5?

I know the overall setup will be taller but it shouldn't rub anything going up to only 235 on the 17s, right?

430i xDrive stock suspension.

Thanks.

No rush since winter is coming up so it gives me time to find tires. Her 18th birthday is a couple of weeks off still. I'm looking at the Bridgestone Driveguards since they come in 235/50/17. Just want her to have RFTs.

I think the max you want to run on a 7.5" wheel is 245 so a 235 should be fine. I had the driveguards on the F10 and they were great. Quiet and handled well for a daily.

235/50/17 would be the widest you can/should go on a 7.5" rim. Other than that is shouldn't rub.
