Hi there
I have a 1999 BMW528i wagon with 225/60R15 summer tires and I just got some Pirelli 205/65R15 winter tires for it.
Mounting tires on the original wheels is rather expensive (hey, I live in Switzerland) so I looked around for spare wheels ... a friend of mine has spare steel rims 6 1/2 J15 ET37 from his C class Mercedes.
Can anyone help me decide if the rims will fit my car and the tires I have?
cheers

Sorry, but the BMW has a 120 mm bolt circle and the Merc 112 mm.

Capriracer is 100% correct. Wrong fitment on the wheels.
