Staggered OEM Wheels

///M5Driver · 08-18-2014, 02:47 PM

So recently purchased my 2011 550i Xdrive and the dealer put new tires on the car (245's all the way around), but I've noticed most people here have 275's on the rear of their M Sport's. Did the 351M's come with 275's from the factory?? If so I might bring it up due to the car being AWD and that possibly throwing off the front to back size tolerance.

Also my door states 245's all around however my car isn't an M-Sport and the vin states it came with the normal snowflake? 19's. The original owner must have swapped them out.

Thanks for the help.

Surprising with the staggered wheels but good to know thanks!

Are you sure your wheels are staggered? X-drives with M Sport came with 351M rims, but not in a staggered setup. Rear drive models got the wider rear rims and were shod with 275's.

I have two sets of wheels for my 11 535xi, a square 331 winter set and a staggered 351M summer set. Both are 19". No issues. Just have to make sure the overall circumference is the same for both front and rear tires.
