Spare Tire Kit Storage questions

I may have an OEM E70 Spare Tire Kit coming available soon

Krepperatu · 05-04-2023, 08:03 AM

I recently bought a 2011 X5 XDrive35i with Rear Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT Run Flats 325/30 R21, with what I think is 11.5Jx21 ET38 or ET42 Alloy Rims. The Fronts are Delinte Desert Storm II M+S DS8 Radials 285/35Z R21 on what I think is 10Jx21 ET 40 Alloy Rims. The fronts are fairly new and the rears are more worn. I think I want to eventually go with all radials for a softer ride. There is no spare with the car. I looked at modernspare.com, but does not clearly specify the spare OD is a match for these 21" tires. Car is in San Juan, PR. Any recommendations or help is appreciated. Thanks!

The 18'' OEM spare tire kit worked with our style 214 wheels (20''), I would assume it could work with 21'' as well as an emergency/temporary solution to get you off the road. But that's my assumption, hope someone can confirm. If I remember correctly, nothing else larger would really fit in the trunk cavity

Spoke with a reputable BMW mechanic and he said turn off the traction control and so as operating with a donut for a short while, will not hurt the drive system.

Would a 17" spare work with 19" wheels? I've noticed they're about half the price on Ebay that the 18" spares are. Something like an X3 spare for example.

Will it clear the brake caliper? I think you may want to confirm the rolling diameters too.
