BMW 535i Spare Tire

The BMW 535i, part of the esteemed 5 Series lineup, typically doesn't come equipped with a standard spare tire as BMW shifted away from including them in many models, favoring run-flat tires instead. However, for drivers who prefer the reassurance of having a spare, options are available. The spare tire suitable for the BMW 535i usually needs to be a compact, temporary spare, often referred to as a donut, due to the limited space in the vehicle's trunk designed for weight reduction and efficiency. These temporary spares are generally smaller in size compared to the car's regular tires, with a common specification being around 135/80R17 for models that can accommodate them. This size is compact enough to fit into the designated spare wheel well, yet capable of supporting the vehicle at reduced speeds in case of a puncture or tire failure, until a more permanent repair or replacement can be made. Owners looking to purchase a spare tire kit for their 535i should also ensure it includes the necessary jack and lug wrench, which are critical for roadside tire changes. It's advisable to check the specific year and model details with a BMW dealer or a trusted automotive parts provider, as specifications can vary and compatibility is key to finding the right fit.

BMW 535i models manufactured from 1990 to 2016 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 25.6" to 26.7", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific BMW 535i years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW 535i vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.8" to 27.5". Some 535i models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare. To ensure safe temporary mobility in case of a road emergency, always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the correct BMW 535i spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
