 Again, using an 18"/19"/20" wheel in the e53 spare tire compartment...it is the width...not the circumference that causes issues. Remember, in the spare well, the tire is laying down...not standing up.

QSilver7, I agree.
That's why I went to this style 332 (front) wheel with a 235/55R19 tire. Wheel fits over front calipers, tire sits properly in spare tire hiding hole, and in fact, if one NEEDED to, they could go taller than a 55% sidewall as there is still a bit of room. Not much, but forgiving. Another thing I'd like to mention is when you do use a different wheel than the factory, to prevent scratching the "new" spare wheel with the black circular washer that pinches the wheel in place on the threaded rod, is to put some fabric or electric tape on underside as it contacts the wheel. Therefore avoiding scratching as vehicle drives. Just got it back from tire mounting shop.   Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Another option that would work in a pinch is to go ahead and use a 17" as a spare. It will work fine for the rear. If you get a flat in front, move a rear wheel to the front, and use the 17" spare in its place in the rear.

But good idea for those who do not wish to upgrade their 17 to an 19" spare. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
