BMW M5 Spare Tire

The BMW M5, a high-performance variant of the BMW 5-Series, does not typically come with a standard spare tire. In place of a spare, the M5 often features run-flat tires or includes a tire repair kit designed to seal minor punctures and re-inflate the tire for extra mileage. However, should you decide to purchase a spare for added peace of mind, the stock tire size recommended for the BMW M5 is usually 275/40R18, but it also depends on the model year and exact trim of the vehicle. It's crucial to check your vehicle's placard or owner's manual for the accurate spare tire size and type. A donut (compact) or full-size spare may be appropriate, but remember that the former is only a temporary solution and not meant for extended driving.

BMW M5 models manufactured from 1991 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 25.4" to 29", 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 M5 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some BMW M5 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.6" to 29.9". Some M5 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 M5 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
