Staggered wheels don't mess up the xdrive?

Not if you pick the right wheels and tires. The general rule seems to be less than 1% difference in rolling diameter between front and rear. Mine are far less than that (.077% difference).

Only pay attention to the diameter difference below:

looks great. I just bought some 19's and seeing these pics I am pretty much set on some V1's - gives the car an aggressive bur clean look.

Wow, that looks really great! Nice drop and wheels.

I am really thinking of getting the KW V1, it looks like its the best option for "xi" onwers.
I was thinking of the V3 but I am not sure if I really need it. I do track but not often.

Looks great.

for reference here is a pic when I had my staggered 19s on my xi, dropped on V3s

Anybody try running 19x8.5 fronts 19x10 rears? Any problems, rubbing? Can it still be lowered?

[Darth Bobo]

Thought I'd throw an update in in case anybody searches in future. Have about 12,000 KM and went through a snowy winter. No leaks, chirping or noise of any kind from the coils yet.

Small amount of rub on drivers side rear after they settled but not enough to worry about. Did not get an alignment either, tires seem to be wearing OK but will keep an eye on them.

No negatives to report. Scratched the bottom of the front lip pretty good in a parking lot once, wouldn't want it any lower.

looks good. Get silver coated reflectors over the front wheel hubs. The orange is ugly.

[Darth Bobo]

Those reflectors got me laid 3 times, chicks dig it.

looks great!

[kdiggz]

so you never got an alignment or corner balance? how do you know it's the same height all around? i would get that done

Looks great!
