I'm Looking to buy a used set of Rohana rf2 wheels from a local seller from a Facebook group they're 19" staggered 19x8.5 235/35/19 in the front and 19x9.5 275/30/19 in the rear. Seller isn't sure about offset but does it matter? Will these tire sizes cause any issues with xdrive? Thanks.
Edit: these will be going on my 2013 f30 328xi |

since front and rear diameters are equal at 25.5", it is optimum for x-drive. if you are not lowered your x-drive gap will increase 1/4" from what you have now, consider lowering. your speedo will read slightly higher than actual and you'll accrue about 216 extra miles every 10000, not too bad.
offsets matter. if the front is in the +(30-35) range and rear +(40-45), it should be good |

i believe the offsets are 33 fronts and 35 rears. i would think you need some camber in the rear to fit them without rubbing with those offset specs. but since they're a 30 wall you might not depending on how dropped you are

The guy messed up and the tires ended up being 245/35/19 in the front 275/30/19 rear. I loved the wheels, was told it would still work with xdrive, and I drove 2 and a half hours, so I bought them and put them on the car. I did research and found that although it should work with AWD as it's under 1%, 235/35 would've been better in front. Should I expect any issues? Would it be worth buying all new tires in the front just to get the 235 Instead of 245? I drove over 100 miles back from New York on them and haven't experienced any issues so far.

No issues with xDrive. Quality hasn't suffered, but maybe it's because I had almost dead runflats when I picked up the car. If you were to rate the roads in my area though, it would average above 9 out of 10. My previous S2000 was just as low and the tires were similar sizing. I don't commute to an office or anything, so I can't comment on daily driving. That being said, on my next set, I'm going to raise the car 5/8" and go with Michelin PS4s in 245/40-19 and 275/35-19. I scrape the bottom of my lip too often. Sorry I couldn't be of any help, but I know there's a ton of old threads on this sizing. I hope you find them.
