XI owners does it make a difference on wheel sizes?

strytllr112 · 04-08-2009, 02:41 PM

I am looking to buy some new rims for my E92 XI. Most of the larger rims are two sizes, one set for the front and one set for the rear. Does it make a difference if you have four wheel drive? As my current set of rims are all the four same size.

Staggered wheels are fine for your car. Just follow the golden rule.

235/35/19
265/30/19

225/40/18
255/35/18

I've always thought it was 225 - 265 or 235 - 275 ... its a little closer in diamaeter with the 235 and 275
