Plus size tire on 214s (20")

[machine]

Hey Guys!

Wanted to get your input and advice on putting plus size tires on my 2011 X5 35D with style 214s.

I'd like to go with something within that 1% rule... want a taller tire to fill up the wheel gap. I'm really loving the look of a meatier tire too.


Bit of a noob when it comes to tires, any guidance or advice would be reallllly appreciated.

The tires I'm looking at are the new Michelin - Pilot Sport All Season 4. I can also go with the DWS06 again, but wanted to try something new.

Many thanks!!!

You can fit 295/40/20 but you will need spacers for the front and rear to avoid rubbing. I got a set of DWS06 from 4wheelonline and they did great in all conditions. You can't go wrong with Michelin also.

Thanks for the input!



With respect to the 295/40/20 I would assume that would be for the fronts?



What would you suggest for rears?



Stock sizes for the 214s are as follows:
Front Size: 20" 275/40-20

Rear Size: 20" 315/35-20
