Bought wheels for the first time...

LaEuroXi · 05-03-2018, 12:49 AM

I bought a set of VMR V710s for my 2007 BMW 328XI. The front wheels are 18x8.5 and the back set are 18x95. I bought them not even thinking if it would affect the AWD. I'm wondering if this would matter with the right tire set up or if I should just go to a square set up. I'm new to this and didn't do my research before hand

Thanks!

I think you'll be fine, there are a couple of members who also run staggered on x-drive. Just make sure your rolling diameter between front & rear tires are the same.

Exactly what SloDiiv said.

Keep in mind that is you go with a square tire set up, there will be some tire stretching between 8.5" and 9.5"

What tire size were you thinking of going with at the front?
