Looking at buying some winter steel wheels and Blizzaks. I have a 2000 528i with sport package which I have heard is not that easy to fit most wheels with this setup.
Will the following work for me?
205/60/15's
If not, what do I need to specifically look for?

The tire size is too short. You'll need something like a 205/65r15 or 225/60r15. The 205/60's don't have the proper load rating and would greatly effect gearing.

Sport package requires 17" or larger wheels. You're gonna be using cheap alloys to get the job done. Wish steelies were available in 17"

Sport package does not require 17". Brakes on the 530i/540i require 17" (IIRC, 16" otherwise). The 525i/528i models only require 15" for brake clearance. Sport package does not make a difference.

I stand corrected~! 530 and above = larger brakes.
