How do I check if they put the larger wheels in the back?

bender rodriguez · 03-22-2013, 08:11 PM

So should I just put the same tire size that is on there now?

To clear up any confusion and typos, post what you discovered that the actual wheel widths are front and rear as well as your current tire size (s).

So I found out these are 17 inch style 286 OEM wheels. They are indeed staggered with the bigger wheels being a 1/2 inch different in width. They do come on sport 328i.

Sadly I found this out after I had tires mounted in square setup fashion. Is there anyway to measure their width once mounted? I have a feeling costco didn't catch the 1/2 difference and who know where they mounted each tire. I could have one larger wheel up front and one in the back.

I can assure you that your door jam does not state that. Many people mis-read the numbers "2" and "5" for some reason so you may have written the info down incorrectly.

Do you own a measuring tape? That might be a good place to start...Either that or get the wheels off and/or get under the car to look on the inside of the spokes to see what the specs say.

This issue doesn't exactly require the expertise of a rocket surgeon to solve.

Staggered is fine for summer/ performance setups.

That said, I would get a set of 18" stockers squared for winter.
