Tyres for F20 118i Year 2015 LCI

[Isaac Sern]

Hi Sifus. I am getting a second hand F20 from BMW Premium Selection. Would appreciate advise on the tyres. Can I use 225/50 tyres rather than the original spec 225/40. Am thinking that thicker tyres translates to better comfort but worry the wheel well may not fit 225/50. The F30 uses 225/50. I need to change the tyres anyway.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Potential rubbing: The taller sidewall may rub the fender, especially during full suspension compression or sharp turns.
Speedometer accuracy: Your speedometer might be slightly off (reading slower than actual speed).
Handling: The handling might be a bit softer due to the taller sidewall.
Recommendation: Double-check your BMW manual or consult a dealer to confirm if 225/50 fits your specific F20 model without issues.
