I recently acquired a 318i cab in the neon blue design trim and it has the 15 inch BBS basketweaves as standard. The fronts are 205 55 15 which according to the manual is correct. Oddly, the rears are 205 55 15?! Is this a problem and what might be the reason for this? Any pointers much appreciated. Thanks, chris,

Sorry am being retarded after the first drive with the hood down! Fronts are 205 50 15 and the rears are 205 55 15 - ie a different profile. Weird eh?

some people do put a lower profile tyre on the front for looks.
