I recently picked up a set of style 32 wheels for my 93 525i. The wheels were taken from a 2001 540.

Costco has a nice deal on some BF Goodrich G-force sport and G-force T/A KDW tires (60 off 4 + the usual free road hazard), but they won't let me specify the size in the store. They said if they're not the original tire size, they won't do it. I explained (and embellished alittle) that the wheels were a standard upgrade for the 525i sport, and he said that would probably be okay, but he wanted to see the tire size on the door frame (damn, no luck there). So when I said that it wasn't on the door frame, he asked if the wheels were at least on the car, which they're not. Thats when he gave up and said no.

So, there's another Costco on the other side of town. I'm thinking that I can either:

1- tell them its a 2001 540, or
2- just bring in the wheels and say they're off of a 540.

Has anyone else ever had this problem and/or gotten any luck getting the tires put on? Anyone had Costco put tires on wheels without the car bieng there? My biggest concern is that if my car is in the computer as a 01 540, someone down the road might notice if I get a flat repaired and deny the warranty. Thanks a bunch, Im a bit frustrated right now.
