Wheel fitment question
I have an '08 E70 4.8i, which I don't believe has the sport package. I just picked up a set of the 214 wheels from a 2010 X5 (20x10 and 20x11) but can't tell if they will cause any issues from the non-staggered that I currently run. Does anyone know if the sport package changes something specific that makes the staggered wheels work, or will I be fine using them? |

Just make sure the diameter of the installed tires are the same front to rear. With the wider, lower profile on the back on the wider wheels.

Pretty sure the E70 didnt change hub sizes, so will be OK
As above, make sure your OD is matched (or better yet, the Revs per Mile is within 1%. If one is, say, 796.... the other should be 788 to 804) (You keeping them squares for winter snows???) Oh, search here can be screwy.... Consider using google with "site:xoutpost.com" added- all results will be from here. |

Just measured them/rolled them up against the current wheels and confirmed the overall diameter is the same. And you're just saying wider wheels in the back, correct?

Okay thank you, yeah the offset was my other potential concern, but knowing the diameter is the same and assuming there were no hub differences it shouldn't cause issues.. Unless there is something in the rear diff. that was changed? IDK. Not sure how to measure the revs per mile though if that is something fairly easy to do. But yes exactly, will be getting some blizzaks or something for the current 18's for winter, and summer/all-season performance for the 20's after I have them refinished and powder-coated. Picked up the set for $400 (3 decent tires, one needs to be replaced), so may just replace the one tire for now after seeing how expensive the new tires are haha. And that is a good call, I should've thought of that - Always frustrating when you're looking up something specific and the term is too short so is ommitted... |

Eyeballing them by 'rolling up next to each other' is WHOLLY inadequate....
*YOU* dont measure them. YOU go to tire rack and - for each specific tire/brand/model- you look up the "specs". Keep in mind that an "OD" isnt loaded (ie weight of the car on the tire) whereas the 'revs per mile' includes deflection when the tire is loaded. Mismatch in the revs/mile is precisely what the differential 'sees'.. too much, it is damaged. |

It isnt the mismatch between "the old tires' and 'the new tires' that matters.... its the mismatch between front and rear Clear? |

And just checking, you are using the same size tires, front and rear- but on 'staggered' rims, two different widths?
There is a THEORETIC difference in OD with a tire that is on a different width. The tire flexs, but I think it MIGHT impact rolling diameter. Id do it, probably not that much. But just FYI |
