Can the xi do staggered wheelsetup?

blueaudi18 · 10-24-2007, 01:45 PM

comming from an audi...i know staggered wheel r not recommend for AWD vehicle.

i know some will say its fine but is there the same ammount off space to fit some 9.5 in the rear?

I've been lead to believe that it's fine as long as the diameter is the same the whole way round -- do a search... there are plenty of xi's here running a stag setup (19x8.5 front 19x9.5 rear). Tires depend...usually people run 265/275 in the back and 235 in the front

The 18" sport package wheels are a staggered setup, so if BMW offers it then it must be fine. I hope so, because I have it!

You are fine as long as the diameter is maintained. My carrera 4 is AWD and has a staggered setup of 225/45/17 and 255/40/17 with no problems at all.

you should be fine with staggered set up.

235/35/19 Front
265/30/19 OR 275/30/19 Rear

Many XIs on this board are running those right now with no problems.

* Knock on wood*

I am currently running on my E90 335xi

235/35/19 F
265/30/19 R

Note:

Next spring I will be switching to 275/30/19 in the rear because the diameter is nearly identical. Currently the difference between F and R is .9%

in order to keep the rotational dimensions within .2% this is what i will be running on my future Morr's:

225/35/19
265/30/19

This mimics my current SP 18" setup (also .2% difference)
