I got the oem 15" rims for the 3... thinking of putting that on the m5 with snow tires, do you think it would fit? It might be a little low, but what do you guys think?
Thanks for the help.

I suspect the 15" rims will not clear brake calipers of your MZ5.

The 15" rims came on the GX and GS 3 sedans only and they had smaller brakes than the GT sedan and the hatches.  And I suspect that the brakes for the MZ5 is prob the same ones as the GT sedan and hatches.

In terms of overall diameter, if the tires are OEM, then they are probably the same (195/65/15 is the same height as 205/55/16 which is the same as 205/50/17)

16's will definitely fit.

If you already have the 15" rims, why not try to put that on to see if it fits.
