Emergency wheels haha

RonP22 · 10-23-2019, 08:58 PM

So I have got a e92 335xi and I came across a problem where my rear left wheel is messed up to the point where the wires are coming out and it could go at any minute...

Anyways I borrowed my friends 19' wheels but here's the catch, its the same size however different diameter (235/45/19).

I am currently running (235/45/17) in the front and (235/45/19) in the back.
I have been running this for 2 weeks and xDrive obviously thinks the fronts are slipping so it shuts off the front actuator immediately.

I don't have the money at the moment since I am a student and I need to drive the car everyday. What kind of damage was I doing to my car?? (i will be getting new tires tomorrow for winter 215/60/17).

(car has been running fine, no check engine light, 4x4 abs light)

When you go cheap like that, you end up breaking more expensive things.
Don't go cheap.
