Does Tirerack have solution for F30 spare?

ashishnedungadi · 01-18-2019, 10:28 PM

I have switched over to non runflats on my 2017 340i xDrive and need a spare tire solution. I have all the other pieces - air compressor, tire repair kit, jack, etc. I thought I'd go with a full size, but that might be too big and heavy. Does TireRack have a solution for a "donut" spare for the F30?

I need a tire that is 145/70 18, which is 26" diameter. Is there a wheel that can be used with this tire to fit the F30's?

Looking for recommendations. Thanks!

Bimmerzone has donut spares for F30. I have one for my F22 and it took up the perfect amount of space I was willing to sacrifice in the trunk.

^^ This ^^

Bimmerzone is the only vendor I have found that carries Compact Spare for my 435 WITH the OEM MPerformance Brakes (370mm front/345mm rear) rotors/calipers

Many of the others carry versions that will fit the rear MPerf 2 piston calipers/345 rotors, but they wont fit the fronts with MPerf 4 piston calipers/370 rotors

Additional Information:

Fitment

Specification Diameter Difference
145/70-18 (Spare Tire) 26.0in N/A
225/50-17 25.9in -0.5%
225/45-18 26.0in 0.0%
255/40-18 26.0in -0.0%
225/40-19 26.1in -1.3%
255/35-19 26.0in -0.0%

This is a completely bolt on solution for OEM brake setups. However this WILL NOT fit aftermarket Big Brake Kits or Carbon Ceramic Brakes.

So the spare tire 17 inch from other years also would fit and clear the calipers of non MSport brakes on a 2016 340? I'm looking to resolve this issue since I also ditched the run-flats. I'm about to put a full-size wheel, but I'm concerned with the space it's gonna take.
