BMW 3 series Xdrive system - Staggered wheels

Hi, I'm new to this post and recently purchase a 328i Xdrive. I want to buy a new Larger set of wheels for it. But I’m not sure if a Staggered set will be comparable with the Xdrive system as the car currently the same size both front and back. Does anyone has a 3 series Xdrive with Staggered wheels? Any input would greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I know a bunch of people with staggered wheels on their x-drive.
Just make sure the offset will fit and you're good.

You can stagger X-Drive cars, what you need to ensure is that your front and rear tires have the same rolling diameter.

How can I see if the tires are the same rolling diameter?

I bought 19" 8.5 ET 35 front and 19" 9.5 ET 35 rears with 235/35/19 front rubber and 265/30/19 rear.

Sorry if thats not the smartest question but I'm new to this.

Thanks

No need to check, that's a proven set-up for x-Drive cars

Nope. There's a wheel calculator on the wheel section of the forums. Check yourself.

Front diameter would be 25.97, rear would be 26.03 if i used this thing correctly. Is that close enough? lol ITs .06 off....thats the closest i could get it to match. I picked up a set of e46 m3 18in wheels, thats the factory sizes of the m3.
