435d xdrive staggered 1.1%
Hi peeps I recently well not exactly recently August to be exact picked up a 435d xdrive with staggered 225/35/20 275/30/20 tyres. I’ve been reading up on the 1% maximum tolerance and xdrive issues and mine come at 1.1%. Should I be concerned.
Thanks in advance |

Actually you should be as it will cause problems with the transfer case and voids warranty! For you to be within spec its the 225 front 255 rear Alternate is 245 front 275 rear.

1.1% is no big deal, the difference between 225 and 275 tire widths is. There's no advantage to tires that wide on the rear of an xDrive car. I'd switch them to 255, or even go square. There's no advantage to 20 inch wheels either, but I doubt you want to change those.

Thank you to every one with the replies. Very informative. I did post this on the UK part of the forum and some one mentioned the possibility of slightly different rim sized on the car ie 8J at the front and 8.5J at the rear
I’ll have a look once I’m on dry land(I work at sea) |
