BMW 228i Spare Tire Sizes

The BMW 228i has used 5x112mm and 5x120mm bolt pattern variations from 2014 to 2023 along with tire diameters ranging from 24.8" to 25.5" tall. Using a temporary 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. Tire diameter, as well as wheel diameter clearance, have been taken into account for the specific BMW 228i years and options. In this case, 125/80R17 and 125/70R18 spare tire sizes are used to avoid vehicle components while closely matching the original tire size diameters.
