If it wasn't an X-drive, I'd lower it in a heartbeat, but this car was bought to be used as an AWD vehicle. Just want it to look nice and lose a bit of the giant gap without dropping it.  |
I know that the 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 are the recommmended sizes to stay at about 25 inch like a stock 225/45/17, but you were talking about running 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 and that would bring tire dia. up to 26 inches which are to tall. I know bmw speedometers aren't very accurate but this would throw it off even further. I see you use it for winter use get some coilovers, best of both worlds low for nice weather and raise it for winter. I know the wheel gaps are hideous on the awd bmw's, so just go with a sport drop less than 1" all around.
