437M wheels on xdrive f30

I am in the market for some 437M wheels and I am curious if the 9 inch wide wheels with 255/35/19 tires will fit in the front of my xdrive 335i? And also do the 10 inch wide wheels with 275/35/19 tires fit in the rear?

Are they the 19 inch?
If 19, they should fit but if you're extra-cautious then use 245/35/19 (front) and 265/35/19 (rear) tyres. These are the tyres on my wheel set of the exact same specification with the 437M, and they fit without the slightest problem.

Yes they should fit, but you need to match tire sizes so the diameters are the same front and back.

The xDrive requires the tires are within 1% of diameter to prevent any issues. The standard 19" staggered set up has a wheel height of 26", 1% is 0.26".

The following Standard Staggered tires are 0.1" or less that 0.5%, this is OK:
  • Front: 8.0" Rim: 225/40ZR19 = 26.1"
  • Rear: 8.5" Rim: 255/35ZR19 = 26.0"

The following tires are 0.5" or 2%, this is double recommendation and may be a problem:
  • Front: 245/35/19 = 25.8"
  • Rear: 265/35/19 = 26.3"

The following tires are 0.6" or greater than 2%, this will be a problem:
  • Front: 255/35/19 = 26"
  • Rear: 275/35/19 = 26.6"

I've been running 255/35/19 & 275/35/19 on my 335 xDrive without any issues, I am running xDelete now though so there isn't concern about rolling diameter differences. It does rub sometimes when full lock but that's about it.

Just a slight reduction on the width as I did: 245/35/19 & 265/35/19
Then it's perfect. No rubbing at all.

Would this also apply to b58 xdrive models?

Engine size/type has nothing to do with tire rotation. xDrive is xDrive. Same rules will apply.
