    Wheel Size Question (2013 128i)

    New to the forum and my first post so be gentle. Just bought a 2013 128i and want to replace a couple of wheels do to lacking driver skills from the previous owner. I need to replace the both the front and rear on the right side only. Tires currently are Goodyear Eagle LS2, 205 50R17 and they are pretty much new so I'm going to keep them for now. Wheel question is the front and rear "Wheels" the same size? I can't find a P/N on the wheels anywhere and would love to avoid removing an tire just to find a part number.


    Replacement wheels are OEM BMW remanufactured and I'm getting information that they are different sizes?

    Front 71244:
    Bolt pattern, 5X120
    Diameter, 17"
    Rim Width, 7"

    Rear 41245:
    Bolt pattern 5X120
    Diameter, 17"
    Rim Width, 7.5"

    If I'm understanding your question correctly, based on the info above it seems that you have a square setup, meaning same size wheels all around - the rear being .5 inches wider. Let us know if you have any other questions.

    I'm trying to find out the original wheel dimensions for a 328i?

    Hi again, I think I got what you're saying now. That they all should be 17"X7" and the rear not 17"X7.5".
    Thanks...

    No, the rear may have a wider rim with a factory setup from BMW. I made a mistake in my initial comment that likely confused you, sorry about that. A square setup means all the wheels are the same size. Your BMW from the factory came with 17x7 in the front and 17x7.5 in the rear according to the numbers you posted.
