Xdrive wheel recommendations
Looking for recommendationson staggered setup
Hate the 225 tire look I'm sure plenty of members here have done some setup Thinking of a spring drop too Maybe spacers

My thoughts are to find wheels that fit tires 225 front and 255 rear. Xdrive feels great with the exactly equal diameters and wider stagger. For a summer set I would personally go with 19s and for winter 18s. Try to avoid spacers.
Front 8-8.5", offset 40-35 Rear 9-9.5", offset 50-45 VMR wheels have great fitment as do many others. |

I got the HRE FF15s in a 19" staggered and love them! Tires are 235/35 and 245/35. With xdrive it's crucial to make sure the rolling diameters of front and rear are as close as possible, ideally under 2% difference.

I ordered some wheels, 18x8.5 et42 front and 18x9.5 et45 rear.
Keep In mind I have Xdrive so Ive been told its important to keep rolling diameter below 2% between front and rear. With that being said it's been from research that I'll have no issues running 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear. Can anyone say if I can run bigger tires while staying below the 2% needed on staggered setup for xdrive? For example is 235/40/18 front ok with 255/35/18? Would it beneficial to just go with the 225/40 vs 235/40 front? Can I go bigger than 255 rear? End goal is I want to run biggest/thickest tires with no rub on the wheel specs mentioned while not causing issue to xdrive. Any feed back is appreciated. |

So I ended up with 225/40 on 8s in the front and 255/35 on 9s in the rear. It looks mean and nasty I love it- but should I be worried about it messing with my traction control system and x drive system? Thanks in advance!

Why? 225/40 and 255/35 have an almost identical rolling radius so your xdrive is fine (happier than with the stock 225/40 and 345/35 stagger) and the traction control steps in if there is slip so fitting different tires makes no difference for the car (as slip depends on tire width/ tire itself/ temperature/ conditions.... there is more/less depending on many parameters anyway)
