For xdrive isn’t it always recommend to go square?

Nope. They come from factory with staggered options. 20" will be a tougher ride with less rubber. I think people prefer 19's. I also don't think you can get more than 9" in the back without rolling the fenders. Could be slightly wider... not sure.

Make sure you have tire/wheel damage insurance. With New York roads you'll need it. One of the reasons I have 17s is my yearly trip to NYC, and the strong desire to be able to drive home again.

I currently have 8.5 front and 9.5 rear but on 18's will the 20's be an issue?

I have a 20x9 all around on my xdrive without any issues. Tire size is 245/40 btw

Oh nice! Then you shouldn't have any issue with 9.5" 19's!

Should be fine, but your speedo will be off by ~2mph

Do any third party companies offer this?

Oem height is 26 in
Your tires are 27.7 in

My question is about the 1% rule. Does it apply to height compared to oem or just staggered size comparison. Also how much is your odometer off? Can anyone confirm this height is safe???

Looks good. Can you post a side pic. I’d like to see fender gap at stock height with these tire sizes. Did you have space to go with higher profile tire?
