21" Wheels from my 760li

I have a new set of 295/35/21 tires and was wondering if those tires would fit these rims off my stock 760li?

I currently have 245/30/21 now on the 760li.

I know they have the same bolt pattern.....
No, 295's are going to be 11.6" wide and 245's are only 9.6" wide.
You'll need different wheels. Although your post is confusing... You are asking about tires fitting certain rims, but then you talk about them having the same bolt pattern. Tires don't have bolt patterns, but the 295/35/21 tires you referenced will not fit the rims that your 245/30/21 tires are mounted on.


The 760Li has different width tires though front and back so you need to be sure you're comparing tires suited for either front or rear applications. It looks to me like your post is talking about replacing the 245/30's on the front of your 7 with 295/35's which would be a rear tire and would not work. Stock from the factory 760Li's with 21" rims come with 285/30/21's rear and 245/35/21's front. The 295/35's you mentioned are going to be wider and are going to have a larger sidewall than your stock rear tires.

The OE wheels I believe are staggered 21x9 and 21x10. The 295s will fit on the rear but not on the front. You would need something up front not as wide but, more importantly, similar rolling diameter.

It would fit and sit aggressive but you MIGHT (not positive) have a slight clearance problem up front on full lock-to-lock turns.

You also would want to probably use 30mm spacers in the back to line up with the aggressive fronts.

It will look similar to my setup, as I have 20 offsets (stock on yours is 22-25), but I have 20x9.5 wheels all the way around.
