Putting 19x9 front and 19x9.5 rear wheels on my 535xi in the spring. Due to being xi the rolling diameters must be within 1% or each other. Here are some options I found, wondering what would work best or if anyone else is running one of these setups.

I previously had 19x9 square with 245/40-19 which I loved for the larger diameter over stock (2131.9mm)

Here are the options:

235/40
265/35
0.37% difference for xi

245/40
275/35
0.52% difference for xi


245/40
285/35 (too wide for 9.5"?)
0.08% difference for xi


235/45
265/40
-0.07% difference for xi (larger rear tire)

I think the last two options may be best, but 285 may be too wide for 9.5" wheel? The last option is MEATY. Thanks!

Yes 285 is too wide and you will rub. Here is my size for my 2010 xi.

I run staggered 19s.
235 35 19 fronts
275 30 19 rears

OP you said 535. Do you mean 335?

No, 535xi. I know, wrong forum (although I do own a 335xi).

There's no activity or even a wheel/tire forum over on the E60 side. This question really just relates to xi's in general. I have also noticed the req offsets and sizes are very similar between the two, both being xi.

ah okay. I don't know a thing about 5-series cars.
