Hi all! I am about to pickup my '14 550i X-Drive (M-Sport) next week, and I have had my eye on the M5 wheels for a while. I just picked up a complete set from a forum member here.

Stock M5 20" Style 343M Rims, Tires & TPMS

Fronts: 265/35R20 Michelin PSS on BMW 343M rims
Rears: 295/30R20 Michelin PSS on BMW 343M rims


Question:

1. Will I have a problem running a staggered setup on my AWD 550? I don't want to throw codes or dis-engage my AWD system or ABS system.

I have an X-Drive vehicle. I have read conflicting information regarding running staggered wheels on an AWD setup. From my understanding you can get an EU-spec 550xi with staggered wheels from the factory in Germany ... but not in the US!?!

2. Will these stock M5 wheels & tires physically fit (without rubbing, etc) simply by placing these onto my 550xi ... or do i need spacers, etc.?

I have the Adaptive Drive, Active-Roll Stabilization, Dynamic Handling Package on my 550xi, and I do not plan to make any suspension changes from the factory setup.

Thank you in advance for your expert advice.


Edit: removed reference to the option of purchasing Avant Garde M355 wheels ... decided I wanted to step-up to 20" and heard several issues with finish quality over time. Only interested in the 343M BMW OEM wheels, and stock tires from 2013/4 M5.
