Tire Size List for F56?

Sorry if it's posted somewhere else, but does anyone have a list of what tire sizes fit the F56? My wife's car came with 175/65-R15 and she needs snow tires now. So plan on using the 15" rims for the snows and getting 16" or 17" rims next year for warm weather tires. I usually just buy snows in whatever size the factory tires are in, but the tire I want is not made in 175/65, but they do make a 185/65-R15. Most likely will fit but don't know.

OEM sizes:
175/65-15, 195/55-16, 205/45-17, 205/40-18. As such, a diameter of 24.0" to 24.5" is acceptable to not mess with the speedometer and odometer or worry about fenderwell rubbing.

Alternate tire sizes:
185/65-15, 195/60-15, 205/50-16, and people have also fit 215/45-17 and 215/40-18 without any trouble, however the latter two are slightly taller than OEM.


To answer your question, yes, a 185/65-15 is perfectly fine.

Good Info, thank you
You also helped me in picking my tire size for the warm weather too.
