Hey all, I just got a set of 437M wheels for my F30 and I'm getting mixed reviews on the tire size that I should be running given the staggered setup. Anyone have experience with a similar wheel setup? What tires are you running? I know xDrive has to have weird tire size combinations when running a staggered setup.

235/40/19(26.4"dia.) front, 265/35/19(26.3"), 0.4% diameter difference(equals no x-drive issues), is the best size to run on un-lowered and lowered, F3/4 series with x-drive.

Hey guys I'm planning on running this set up in the next few weeks.

I realize everyone who asks about these set-up's always directs each other to the older 437M fitment threads but those threads have become highly flooded with a mishmash of xdrive vs non-xdrive, 3 vs 4 series, stock height, lowered H&R sport vs super sport, Dinan etc etc and people aren't all stating full specs (some are but not all).

I'm looking at doing just as you said on my F30 340 xdrive paired with ACS springs. Has anyone tested those same tire sizes on this setup - the ACS drop is way more mild than both H&R options and Dinan.

Tires will be Continental DWS06
235/40 R19
265/35 R19

Note: when I ran rep 437's with the above tires my front wheels rubbed on full lock. I imagine it would be even worse with OEM 437's but maybe I'm wrong as again some are saying they don't rub (but then others are...?)

The only setup that will never rub is running the original 225/40 R19 and 255/35 R19 tires but you need to spec a tire like Michelin in order to get a wide as possible width section otherwise the front rim lip protrudes out quite a bit.
