Anyone switch their M to non-staggered wheels?

Just curious... any down side to switching the X5M to 11" or 10.5" width at all 4 corners? Seems like the narrower fronts only bias it toward understeer.

I’ve done square set ups on my old e39 M5 and current e90 M3, 275’s all around on both cars. They handle better, look better, and enable rotating the tires, have been thinking of doing the same on the X5. Not sure if rear fitment would work/fit on the front, would also like to hear if anyone has done this.

Keep in mind that the wheel hub size is smaller in the rear for the X5M.

Enjoy the lighter wheels, cheaper tires and less understeer

Forgot about that. Would have to use rings in back, then.
