22x9 and 22x10.5 Tire Sizes
Hi All,
Bit on the Vossen sale and ordered a set of wheels but now I'm struggling to figure out what the right tires sizes should be. I was thinking of running 285/35s all the way around but now am thinking 285s will be too wide for the 9" front wheels. Anyone running a 285 on 9" wheels? The other option I am thinking is 265/35 Front and 295/30 Rear. The only issue is that the Front will be about 1% larger than the Rear...will this cause any major issues with xDrive? Any other thoughts on available tire sizes that will work? I don't really want to go any narrower than 265 up front if possible. TIA! |

Found some staggered tires in the following sizes:
265/35/22 FR 295/30/22 RR OR 275/35/22 FR 315/30/22 RR Will a 275/35/22 stick out too far on a 22x9 front with 15 offset?? Can't seem to get a clear answer from the calculators. Wheel specs: 22x9 ET15 FR 22x10.5 ET20 RR |

Your setup (275/35/22 on 9 inch wide rim with 15 offset) will be about 8mm (1/3 inch) more sticking out (mostly due to your rim offset) compared to above stock size setup. If you have fender flares - that's not going to be an issue at all Last edited by DuSh; 01-16-2018 at 05:31 PM.. |

Just trying to convince myself it'll be ok and I won't have tires poking out from the fenders. Thanks |

However, keep in mind stock 21 inch wheels with 285/35/21 are not even close to be sticking out if you have fender flares. People use spacers to get them flash |

This is what i mean: on this pic you can see x5m (same wheel fitment exactly as x5) with stock 21 oem bmw wheels 285/35/21 front and 325/30/21 rears - you can see that with fender flares they look recessed - not even close to been sticking out. That's why people put spacers to at least get them flash. So in your case - it will be similar as to having 12mm spacer - just ideal IMHO, but if you are looking for stock looks - then yes, maybe go with something less aggressive
