19' bbs ch wheels on xi

bmwm3redblack · 03-28-2012, 07:00 AM

hey guys i'm planning to buy a nice set of BBS Ch motorsport wheels 19х8.5 front, and 19x10 rear with 225/35 tyres, and 265/30 at the back.
But i'm a bit hesitating about the fitment (rubbing) ,cause my car is on H&R sport springs,so anyone has the same setup???

Good Advice would be much appreciated!

Anyone???!!!

I don't have that suspension setup, but most go with a 235/35 in the front and either 265/30 or 275/30 in the rear with those wheel sizes.

Any rubbing?

275 might be cutting it close.

im running MORR VS8.2s with 19x8.5 and 19x10... 235/35 and 275/30. Since you're getting 10 inches in the back definitely get the wider 275 tires. rolling your fenders is a MUST which i had done. i no longer rub at all.

good luck.

with XI i would try and stay closer to the 1% 235/35 and 265/30 in the rear, your transfer case will thank you

I was wondering which wheel/tire set up to go with on my XI and looks like you have one similar to what I want - besides the no rubbing with rolled fenders - how is the ride quality and does the staggered set up effect the AWD? Thanks!

Eugeinus · 03-29-2012, 04:30 PM

I'm running 235's up front and 265's in back, lowered as well. Ride is great, and as far as I can tell, no ill effects on the AWD system. The key is staying within the 1% as nas mentioned. Most people recommend the 235 8.5 and 265 9.5 in the back, although members have gone with 275's in the back and had no issues.

Ride quality is fine (so long as you dont use RFTs and stay away potholes). The staggered wheels have no real effect on the AWD. The only real difference is that it understeers more.

Exactly. Most people run 235/35F 265/30R, though I run 235/35F 275/30R since I have 10 inches in the back (I didn't want to stretch the tire). The latter front/rear combo also has a less rolling diameter percentage difference than the widely used 235/265 combo.

rolling the fenders is a must for the 10 in rears right?

Definitely. Unless you wanna rubb like a biatch.

Chrisred · 04-10-2012, 12:07 PM

I have 235/35 265/30 setup and dealer says its bad for transfer case. They recommend 275 in rear. Closer to 0% rolling diameter. We can debate about this for a decade from what i see....
