Wheel size suggestions on xdrive

What size wheels and tires would you suggest for a f30 xdrive ? I know you have to keep the wheels close to same diameter due to xdrive system .

Are you just looking for OEM sizes, or are you looking to change something up?

With xDrive the most important thing is to ensure the overall diameter is the same all around, so you don't damage the transfer case.

Well, you can do the OEM staggered setup, again just be sure overall diameter is the same front and back. Staggered puts you at 225/45 front and 255/40 rear I believe.

If you want to go square setup (all the tires the same size) then I think 245/40/18 will fit on the front. Your speedo will be slightly off as the diameter is a little smaller than OEM, but since all 4 tires are the same diameter it won't damage anything.

Whether they will fit will depend on the wheel size and offset.

Yeah I'll want to do a staggered set up and do a wider tire in the rear than the front . What width are most people running .
