How narrow of tire can we use on 20” stock set up

[Pdubz_M5]

Hi all,
Does anyone know how narrow of a tire that can fit on the oem 20” set up for winter tires. Ive seen many run 275/315 with a staggered set up. My main concern is for the rear as I have some basically new winter tires but I’m afraid they may be too narrow for the width of the rim. I have a 265/295 for reference.

Your going to have to give more details. The 275/40/20 and 315/35/20 are ok because of the 1% or less variance among the tires. What size tires are you trying to run, we would need the full specs to let you know if it’s even possible for the x-drive. That is more of a concern than running a super stretched tire.

Hey man I would recommend against these tires. There is a 2.7% variance in tire diameter and I believe it should be 1% or less. This is mainly due to the Xdrive. I mean the tires would be super stretched and technically work on the wheels, but it is not safe for the X5M or the Xdrive. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your help. I definitely will not compromise my safety to save a few bucks.
