Oversized Tires

puckybadger · 04-24-2015, 09:24 AM

My OEM 255/50 x 19's (Goodyear Eagle) are fine but I would like to fill up some of that wheel well space. How large can I go keeping my stock M Sport wheels. And with no spare, I suppose I need run flats.

285/45 R19 Scorpion Winter Run Flat

I believe in Europe this size comes as OEM staggered 19" setup.

@puckybadger , just be careful in going bigger in overall diameter. It may cause some rubbing and maybe a computer traction control malfunction.

Going with the 285/45R19 rear should be fine as it's only .03" difference in overall diameter (24.05" vs 24.02"). The rear tire size along with the weak offset is the biggest visual detractor on MSport X5s IMO.

Honestly it should just come with the 20's with your choice of tires

Couldn't agree with you more, especially for a rig with such presence/size.

Just grab 20" M style 469 replicas off eBay, put runflats on them and be done with it -

Stock - 255/50/19 Goodyear RFs. Can't wait until they wear out...

Ours came with 20" 469 in staggered setup.
Looks amazing, and this is why I will do all I can to keep this look in the winter as well.

anybody have comparison photos of 255/50/19 vs 285/45/19? im curious to see what the difference is visually. i had a google and its quite hard to tell.

Page 27 & 28 of the daily picture thread. Both monkray and jose260gti posted pics of their Euro-std staggered 467Ms with 285 rears. Def looks like there are spacers in the rear, but both confirmed that it's completely stock. Now whether stock Euro 467Ms have a more aggressive offset or not I'm not sure about.
