same size all the way around

Yokohama Parada Spec-X 285/35/22

Yeah, happens almost always in parking lots/garages/driveways for me. The brakes squeal like a banshee when cold too. Really annoying noises!

Yep, I've got the same issue on my 2010 3.5d. It's been getting louder. Really annoying. Let me know if you guys get it resolved.

I don't know if that would necessarily help. I think having 275s like dude said might be the way to go. Remember, have them test fit on the driver's side!

Crazy, I have BOTH of these same problems! I just started noticing the transmission slip thing the other day and the brake squealing about the same time. I only have 700 miles so far on my 35d.

Dang. The 40s didn't fit. They couldn't even mount the wheel, b/c the tire ran into the joint arch that juts out just above the wheel/tire. :dunno:

Okay, 285/35/22s clear just barely, and they...

Alright, here I am at the wheel/tire shop and they're test fitting the 285/40/22 Yokohamas. For backup, if they don't fit *fingers crossed* we have the full set of 35 series tires. Will let you all...

The Beyern Mesh wheels I'm after are either 9.5 or 11 width. I'm thinking that if I go with the 9.5 hopefully they won't rub with 285/40/22 tires, and yes, I'm getting the Yokos which I've heard are...

Wow, thanks for that info. I completely forgot about the speedometer and what would happen if I went up in diameter too much!

I'm trying to avoid the big wheel/small rubber band tire look, like you mentioned, by going with a higher sidewall and thus more rubber.

Hrm.. that doesn't tell me anything about the tires - but one thing I thought I wasn't able to do was have staggered wheels with the x-drive. Maybe they matched the rolling diameters up really well.

Do you know what the tire size is? Looks like there's still plenty of room in the wheel wells.

That looks nice. What I'm trying to avoid is having too little sidewall. So, right now I'm deciding between 285/35/22 (recommended) and 285/40/22 (might be tight).

Thanks! I plan to keep my stock wheels/tires for winter driving. The thing I'm trying to decide on right now is tire size for the 22"s.

Just talked to the wheel/tire shop today. They said that I might be able to get away with 285/40/22s, but it would be tight. Anyone ever put tires on this size? If so, does it rub?

Will going with 22"s ruin my ride?

Hey guys (and gals). I'm thinking of putting on Beyern 22" Mesh wheels on my Space Grey X5 35d. But, I'm a little concerned that doing so will not leave me enough rubber. The local shop told me...
