I'm installing a set of second-hand 17" winter tires on my new-to-me 2015 235.
The stock wheels are staggered 18". Pressures are set to 33 front, 38 rear. What is the recommended pressure for 225 17" square? |

I set my 225 17" winter tires to the same pressures that are recommended for my staggered summer tires, and it doesn't seem to be an issue.

and they're on!
Winters are on, just after first hard frost here in DC area. Turned into a project.
I couldn't get the lug nuts off with my home compressor/wrench, so I took it to a small tire shop nearby. They broke the lug key on the second wheel. Those BMW locks are very good - the shop tried their 'special tools' but couldn't budge the locked lugs. Drove the car with the one 17" snow and three 18" summers to the BMW dealer, where for a small (hah!) fee the locks were extracted with the master key and the swap completed. I like the look with the square 17" wheels. Ride is very smooth with a bit more tire noise than the summers. |
