xDrive & Offset
Can xDrives have offset tires? DIfferent width on front vs back? I've read different opinions about awd vehicles, mostly i've seen that it's ok.

I just went 245/40 square on 18x8.5 wheels but would love to see what that 275/35 looks like on a wider rear. Thanks |

You can indeed have staggared tires, as long as the tires are closely matched in overall diameter/circumference - the usual figure quoted is 1% Go to tirerack.com; I think it will figure things out for you. (You might have to select a non-xDrive car with sport package to get it to suggest sizes, but I think it will do staggared sizes for xDrive cars.) |
