will 215/50/17 work on the 5. the originals are hard to find and expensive. what tire sizes has anybody put on there 5 and have had no problems. what tires would you recommend for the snow to.
If going down that route I'd get a set of the 16" steels for Winter.
I don't know where you are but here in Aberdeen we only get about a week of snow a year now, hardly worth a second set (although I have just taken off 20" wheels with 315 rears ! on our X5 & put on narrower 17s)
Cheers,
Co.

man i love the phantom blue, have one myself. looking to lower, w/rims and maybe some more bass(my girl is fighting that one) but i do find the UK versions a bit ugly. they seem to have more of a "squarish" look. the US has a more aggresive look.
