What is max non-staggered tire size for 2011 550i Xdrive?

cdogasman · 11-12-2011, 10:36 AM

Just purchased car (came with LS2 run flats). Tire Rack says increase in size to 255's would be easy but what about 265/30 all around? Anyone know if this will work?

Not sure why you want to go non staggered. Staggered will perform better. If you are trying to go wider in the front to help with the push the stock suspension is much more an issue than tire width IMO. As long as you keep the circ within 1% staggered is the way to go

Trying to get best combination of looks/performance on M sport rim. Staggered is fine, was simply thinking of ease of maintenance (tire rotation etc) with 265's all around. Is anyone going with 255 fronts and 285 rears?
