You can if the overall diameter is the same.

Should be OK, but these are right on the edge...

Front OAD = 25.48"
Rear OAD = 25.23"

Percent Difference = = 0.985999% difference

BMW states no more than 1% difference between front & rear OAD to keep AWD system happy

Better combo would be:

225/35-19 (25.2" OAD)Front & 265/30-19 (25.23" OAD) Rear for a 0.118977% difference

How wide are the rims?

Instead of those sizes I would go either 235/40/19 and 265/35/19

or

245/35/19 and 275/30/19

I know what the 'experts' are going to say, the rolling diameter difference is too much. I run this setup and I know of others who do as well with no problems. This is fairly close to the OEM size difference (front wheel+tire slightly larger than the rear in terms of diameter) so it is fine to use these sizes on x-drive.

How wide would the rims be for this setup?

If you go to the Tirerack website, choose the tires you want to get, then go to the specifications table - it will show you recommended wheel width range for specific tire sizes, and the width used to yield the OA width listed in the spec table...

those are way to short for the f30

[1QuikWS6]

Actually, I run Mich PS A/S 3+ 245/35-19 Fronts (25.8" dia) & 275/30-19 Rears (25.6" dia) on 19x8.5 ET35 front wheels & 19x9.5 ET35 Rears for my summer setup

Tires fit the rims well with no stretch, offset + tire width puts them flush to the fenders with no spacers

Here are some charts for ix fitment:

I run this on 8.5/9.5 wheels and fitment is perfect

factory tire diameter specs for F30, 31, 32, 33, 36 is approx. 26" (F34 is 27")

225/45, 255/40 for staggered 18's, 225/40, 255/35 for 19's

for x-drives a typical 18" set up would be 235/45/18, 265/40/18 on 18x8.5 +35ish, 18x9.5 +40ish. 26.3"/26.3"

for 19", 235/40/19, 265/35/19 on 19x8.5 +35ish, 19x9.5 +40ish, 26.4"/26.3"

I am also looking for feedback on 19in or 20in wheels for my xdrive.

What is recommended for offset at each one? Sorry I just bought a bmw for the first time again in 15yrs.

Looking at Forgestar F14 Super Deep Concave Monoblock Wheel. Any input and pics would be great. I do not plan to lower the car right off the bat.

Great comments guys, especially from alohasurftoad, 1QuikWS6 and the dope steez. This is the kind of post that gets you info you need....the first time.

[irishmil]

So for 2017 f31 wagon xdrive. The 235/45/18 and 265/40/18 would work no problem? No rubbing issues?

[the dope steez]

Jebus if I had a dime for every wheel/tire size thread I'd be in an M3 by now. Search!

[irishmil]

Search is fine, but it always nice to chat with others and start a new thread about topics, get over it...

Did you buy your car used? I didn't think the F30 came with 225/40-18, I thought they were all 225/45-18. It honestly sounds like the wrong size. The 40 profile was for the E90's.

225/40/19, 255/35/19 are the stock tire sizes at least for my f32.

[silver28]

Here are all the % using 225/45/18 as the base tire. I wouldn't go more than+/- 1%

SIZE------ Diameter-----%
235-35-19 25.476 -1.9%
245-45-17 25.681 -1.1%
245-40-18 25.717 -1.0%

How does that offset look? Will I be okay without lowering for now?

should be fine even after lowering
