NiKeMaN · 07-14-2014, 10:30 AM

I've just bought myself one set of 22's for my X5.

But what tyresize do you recommend?

22x10 front ET40
22x11 rear ET35

Damnit... 335 tyres are soo expensive. :/

What about 315 rear and 275 front?

Personally I wouldn't risk it.

But OEM on my car is
275/40r20 front and 315/35r20 rear on 20x10 and 20x11 wheels...? And that is BMW's preferred setup! ?

The tricky thing with staggered setups is that there is usually only one (maybe two) combination that keeps things matched front to rear. Unlike with FWD or RWD cars, you have to be very careful with AWD as straying away from OEM diameters is done at your own peril (see the original post from the thread linked above).

You're free to put whatever tires you want on your car - but risking thousands in repairs later only to save a few hundred now would be extremely short sighted IMHO.

Most are running 295/30/22 front and 335/25/22 Rear.
