fat tires on x5m?

m4AY · 02-13-2023, 04:26 PM

just wondering if there is any body who fitted fatter tires on an x5m, currently have 20's with the 275/35 315/30 combo, but would like maybe a 19" with a fatter tire, i've searched around but nothing.

I know that the manufacturer does not recommend changing the tire radius to prevent transfer case wear and tear.
Sounds like you want to add Drag wheels and tires. All the best.

I lowered my car on h&r 2" springs. Looks great but the ride, not so much. And with a fatter/taller tire I'm sure it would soak up some of harshness. A track tire set up doesn't really exist.
Maybe invest in a coil over set up

I've been running 285/30/22 and 335/25/22 for 9 months of the year for the past 7 years.
No issues other than inner side of tires wearing down

22s would be a harsh ride as well with the h&r springs.
