Also- With the X5M brakes: What's the smallest wheel that would clear them? Would 19" wheels clear? I'm very interested in upgrading to the M brakes. Again, towing, more brake can't hurt. I too love the look and theory of a taller tire, I'm bummed the 45 AR didn't work out..
I have Xdelete on my X5 35d and in RWD I break the tires loose on dry pavement all day and can keep them rollin and I have 315s on the rear, I wouldnt be worried at all lol everything is still nice and solid rear diff is very strong and can handle the abuse. I'm at about 575wtq
