**Rear Tire Question...275 40 20**

I am wanting to upgrade to 20" wheels, my tire guy has a new set of 20 inch tires, but I am not sure if anyone is running currently...

They would be 245/35 (i think) / R20 in the front &
275/40/R20 in the rear....

Has anyone tried this on an x5? Would this jack up my 2010 X5 3.0?

I was also thinking about just using the 275 in the front and buying 315s for the rear like the spec x5. The only problem is then I would have to buy the extended flare/ arches...this is so aggravating!

245/35 has a smaller diameter than stock, by quite a bit. Definitely not suited for the vehicle. Buy the 315s for the rear and do it right.

You don't need the arches either - the rears will sit pretty close to flush with the rear fenders. I have 25mm spacers on my 4.8is and the flares still cover them.

I agree, I am going with the Vossen wheels and they are pretty snug, I need to check the offset etc to see how far they would actually stick out...

Thanks for the response.

My bad, somehow I typed the first message wrong...I was looking for 315s without the flares. Fixed now!
