BBS CH-R rims

DocOct · 07-15-2013, 02:25 PM

Hey everyone. Just joined the forum and had yet another question for the wheel experts. I searched all weekend and couldn't find a good answer in the wheel and tire section.

I'm driving a 550i AWD and am looking at BBS CH-R rims. I found some 9x20 et 29 and 10.5x20 et 35 with 245/35R20 and 285/30R20 sized Mich PSS tires.

I checked with tire rack and the fellow had questioned this with AWD and the original BMW square 8.5X19 wheel set up. The rolling diameter looks pretty much the same with these tires but do you think this will work with x-drive? Would I be better with a 20X9 square set up?

Looks tricky for returns if this doesn't work out. I'd really love to hear what you guys think. Thanks in advance.

That setup works perfectly on the 550xi.

I have the same exact tire sizes on my 535xi with zero issues. Bmw actually sells staggered optional wheels so it is fine for the awd system.
