Reading this thread, people keep saying 295/335, I mean hundreds of people. So I’m curious how they are “getting away with it”

Some UPDATE!
Speak with transfer case specialist and he confirmed me the difference more 1% is problem for the transfer case.
Have a two types transfer cases BUT ///M and regular F15/F16 is same-different years is different types.
About clutch discs have a little difference but major they are same!
They not broke fast but after 30/40k kilometers they slipped and after that broken.
If use 285/30/22 on 10.5J wheel-tire will stretch and received it little difference between front and rear 335/25/22 like 295/30/22.
I hope this answer to these questions…

Because the clutch takes care of the difference but will fail at some point.

Wow, the Maxton Kit looks better as on their Homepage!

Hamann has 2 different flares:
Up to 22" and up to 23" wheels, do you know what set you running? Do you have the part number?

Great looking X5!

Because not all tiers/brand are the same. Some brands/product lines are made to more strict tolerance, whilst others is more of a vague guideline. So whilst on paper the size is +/-1.4%, in reality they could be something entirely different.

this is very true and is more recognized in the 4x4 oversized tires scene. many tires advertise as one size but actual size may vary a decent amount (3/4").
i would also venture to say (just my opinion) that lots of folks are running lower tier 22" tires and perhaps there's less accuracy in advertised there.

I have an X6M that I have been tweaking a bit since I bought it and have used a set of alloys from my previous vehicle to achieve a square setup. I now run a 22x10,5 ET38 front and back, with 295/30-22 tires. Has to be said that I also installed fender flares to give it a more aggressive stance, so I have used spacers front and back to bring the rims out somewhat.
Works great
