MAX TIRE WIDTH ON STOCK 2011 xdrive with M wheels?

Hate stock 245's but like look of stock M wheels and want to use them. Would 255's front 285's rear fit? Anton's know max size that would? Tire Rack and dealer say 255 front no problem but can't get a good answer on rears. Anyone know?

I have xdrive and I also didn't like the rear tire size. If you plan to change the rear tires, then you have to change the rear wheels too. The xdrive in US come with 8.5 wide all wheels and they can't hold the 285 tires. Like your dealer told you, maybe max you can go are 255's. I really like the stock m wheels too, but with m package, I think proper rear tires must be 285's to look more aggresive. I was able to get quote from my dealer for the stock rear rims and they were almost same cost with better after market wheels. So I decided to get the better after market wheels instead of getting two stock wheels.

Good advice. Do you know if stock rears are 19x9 or 19x9.5 on non xdrive with M sport?

Offset issues

Do you happen to know why the factory 19x9 has a 44mm offset while a replacement 19x9 on tire rack has a 35 mm offset?
