215/35/19 and 255/35/19 on an e92 xi?

HARDCORam · 11-29-2013, 09:33 PM

Will this bust my transfer case? Looking to pull the trigger on some wheels but I'm not sure if the tires will work. Its plus 20 in the rear and 35 in the front. Will I be out of the rolling diameter on this one? Quick help appreciated!

225 35 19 and 255 30 19. I would not put those tires on my car if I had an awd

The difference in rolling diameter between those two tires is over 18%...you'd eat up the x-drive, and your stability control would be whacko.

What about a RWD? Oddly enough I have the same kind of deal present for my e92 335i.

Please explain. Tire Rack shows the diameter of the 2 sizes as 25" and 25.2". That's exactly the same diameter of the tires I was hoping to put on in the spring. Doesn't seem like 18% from here.
