Need Advice on running staggered 19" on a 06 325xi

ironlung · 08-21-2009, 10:13 AM

Hey guys just picked up a 2006 325xi i believe with no tpms.

Was wondering if i could run a 19" staggered setup without any problems.

I heard that the newer e90x have no problems with the dsc light going on or problems with the tire monitoring. how about the 2006 w/o tpms?

i would like to install a 8.5 / 9.5 x 19 setup

thanks!

As long as you go standard offsets you should be fine from a fitment standpoint. I don't think the '06's had TPMS so you shouldn't have to worry about that.

You can do this, but you have to be very careful. You need to make sure the overall diameter of your new staggered tires is the same. Feel free to shoot me a PM with any questions!

We've done a handful of these packages and our customers have been very happy. Like said above, just be sure the rolling diameters stay within spec.

Thanks you guys for your advice!

Im looking to buy a set of 19" 8.5 , 9.5 setup

Which size tires would provide the rolling diameters to stay within spec?

I am running 235/35/19 fr and 265/30/19 rr (Falken 452's) on my 330xi, I love the set up and the tires. you will have no problems running this setup on your car.

I'm running 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 on Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics, other than understeer, no problems whatsoever.

On a XI setup you have two options for tires: You can run a 235/35/19 Front and 265/30/19 Rear or you can do a 245/35/19 Front and 275/30/19 Rear. Using any of this combination you will keep the overall diameter difference below 2% and will not cause any interferences with the X-drive system. Please feel free to PM me with any further questions.
