F32 430i xDrive replacement for OEM tires/rims?
I have standard run flats on my 430i xDrive and would like to run staggered wider tires probably a MichelinPS4.
I've heard there are certain limits to what you can run, but I am seeking advice on rims and tire widths. Is it possible to run F82 M4 tires on my F32 and is there a good way to check dimension combinations that fit? I was thinking 225/?/19 front and 245/?/19 rears but am open to suggestions. I have my car in the shop for stage 2 and think that my tires will be a big limitation. Thank you in advance! Last edited by Avaley; 10-10-2020 at 06:38 PM.. |

You can easily run 245/40/19 on all four corners. If you are getting new wheels, are you specifically wanting a staggered wheel setup? I ran 19x8.5 m351 wheels with 245/40/19 tires on Eibach Sport springs with no issues whatsoever. In fact, those wheels are now for sale 😉

No specific need for staggered if there are no big benefits, but staggered apparently is what the OEM releases, then again those are for RWD only cars. I hear it may be easier to just run same tire on AWD! edit: also just for better theoretical handling on the front fire with skinnier tire. Last edited by Avaley; 10-11-2020 at 06:51 PM.. |

bmw has staggered setups on rwd or x-drive. it depends on what line, package or options, or combination thereof. OEM 225/255 stagger will understeer compared to a 245 or 255 square setup. |

so doesn't BMW use a 225/245 stagger on their M cars? But for an xDrive it sounds like a square 245/40/19 might be what i'm looking for.

personally i don't care for 245/40/19(26.7"). although taller tires ride better, provide more impact protection and are able to reduce unsightly x-drive fenderwell gaps(without lowering), taller/heavier tires worsen acceleration, braking and turn-in. i prefer 255/35/19(26") or 245/35/19(25.8") ET35ish , square, lowered on eibach springs with koni yellow dampers if you want sharp handling. if you want to use OEM 437M wheels, 235/40/19--265/35/19 works nice on x-drive, like this... https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...4&postcount=63 |
