Stock 18" question
I'm about to head on a road trip and want to carry one of my 18" OEM wheel with me. Will the 9.5" width wheel (rear) fit in the front incase I were to have a flat on the front wheels? Or would it be better for me to bring the 8.5" wheel (front) instead?

front is for front, rear is for rear. If you have a flat, I would rely on BMW assist or the puncture kit instead, not worth the extra weight of carrying 1 or 2 wheels.
Remember BMW assist will only tow you to a dealer who will not repair a flat. Check with your insurance policy, most holders have a roadside assistance coverage where you can call any company, have them tow or fix the flat on the spot and you send the bill to your insurance policy. |

Rear tire will work as a spare, may rub a little and the car will not track straight, but it'll get you there. Better than putting a front on the rear and abusing the diff
