BMW 1 Series Spare Tires
The BMW 1 Series used a 5x120 mm bolt pattern for all models from 2008 to 2013 along with tire diameters ranging from 24.8" to 26.3" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicles with larger brake calipers and anti-lock brakes or traction control systems.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific BMW 1 Series years and options. In this case, 125/80R17, 125/70R18 and 125/80R18 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct BMW 1 Series spare tire.
