WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU BUY A BMW M550! ( 20 INCH RIMS / POTHOLES )

This is a great idea but you have to also be mindful of the 1% difference between front and rear for the Xdrive. We’re both in NYC and I did 255/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear on Michelins AS4s

[@dilrajsingh3607]

Do you have any pictures? Did this setup fill the wheel gap out more? Or make the tires look wider ?

[@AJ-bt8rf]

You have to. The factory tires look great, practicality under realistic driving conditions is a different story. I'm thinking about going to 255/40(front) and 285/35(rear) to allow for more expansion. I think the wheel well has enough space for the larger tire size you mentioned but not so sure about my setup.

[@_h3rcules_]

I think this would work. I might go for this setup instead

[@dilrajsingh3607]

Hey did either of you end up upgrading your tire size? Need to get new tires and want to go with one of these higher profile setups

[@skillz1855]

It throws off the front diff ratio, I tried it. Carrls feel funny under hard acceleration. Went back stock

[@dilrajsingh3607]

@@skillz1855, bet appreciate it your the second person that said going 255/40 and 285/35 messes up the drive. I’m going to just upgrade to a 245/40 and 275/35 (increase only aspect ratios and not width), people that do this have had no issues on forums

[@Drae5]

This is exactly why last year I went for thicker tires

[@Picard47Lock]

I have 19” 664M’s on my M550 up here in MA and there’s no way I could deal with 20’s with the condition of the roads and weight of the car.

[@_h3rcules_]

Dude it’s tough out here in New York. I think it’s better to get monster truck tires instead🤣

[@jonaskkyeo]

Have you tried 245/40r20 front and 275/35r20 rear yet?

[@_h3rcules_]

Not yet 😅

[@jonaskkyeo]

Am thinking about changing my existing OEM 245/35r20 front and 275/30r20 rear to 245/40r20 front and 275/35r20 on stock rim F06 650i but concern about rubbing. Already changed 5 tires on the OEM setup due to side wall bulging over the past 2 years.

[@_h3rcules_]

Yeah that would help a lot!!

[@artjon477]

Bro i got 21" on my M550i with 295/25/21 tires on the back and in the front 255/30/21 or 255/35/21 im not so sure

[@Drae5]

By the way we have the same car and color!
