After reading mixed reviews, I decided against it. So just running the car stock as it is

Do you remember what tire size you had in this pic? I’m planning on dropping mine almost identically low with 437s as well. I got 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 on em.

225/40/19 and 255/35/19 - I'm looking to add a bit more width as there is some stretch. It doesn't bother me too much but a square-er side wall would look better for sure - I'm thinking 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 - hopefully it doesn't mess up the xdrive so ill be doing some research before i pull the trigger.

245/35/19(25.8")+275/30/19(25.5") is 1.0% and will work on x-drive but since the rear diameter is smaller than the front, you may need to lower the rear a hair to even the gaps.

245/35/19(25.8")+285/30/19(25.7"), 0.08%, is a better size combo for the gaps and more importantly the transfer case

consider 235/40/19(26.4")+265/35/19(26.3"), 0.37%, 5mm taller provides a better ride and 5mm more ground clearance and at your current height, the taller sidewall will reduce your 1 finger gap to virtually zero, giving the illusion that you are lower than you really are. imo this is the best combo.

The legend alohasurftoad! I've been religiously following all your x-drive wheel/tire recommendations for my next set up, I was mainly considering 245/35/19 and 285/30/19 but my only concern is the overall width of the rear. I don't want it to poke and would like to have it flush with the oem 437m - would that be possible on an f32? I saw that post you linked with the silver f30 with the same set up (245/285) a little while back, but I understand there are some minor differences between the f30 and f32? My roads are pretty new and smooth so I'm okay with going with a slightly lower sidewall compared to 235/265.

me not legend...haha

here is 285/35/18(25.9")@ET40 on a lightly lowered F32, 285/30/19(25.7") is slightly less girth, 3-dimensionally.

here is 285/30/19(+245/35/19) on an F36, stock m-sport height

i believe the 4 series are wider and because you are decently lowered, the added negative camber will help keep the upper tire shoulder flush or 1-2 mm on the poke side of flush at most. if you still feel that might bother you then 275/30/19 might be the way to go in the rear.

I really appreciate the help! I think the poke might be a slight bother so I'll play it safe with the 275 rear
