BMW X5 OEM wheels 19x9, 19x10; running 285/45/19 on all corners. Problems?
 

Just acquire a set of OEM BMW E53 X5 19x9, 19x10 sport wheels with 285/45/19 on all four corners. Will this tire setup cause any possible issues? I know that the the sport wheels actually came with 255/50/19 and 285/45/19, and have read somewhere that X5's are very sensitive to staggered setup and tire variations. It may cause issues to transfercase or transmission. I just needed clarifications before I put them on. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks!!:thumbup:

hi there go to the site 1010tires.com and play with the calculator on tire sizes and it yields this : and gave me a warning about the 2 sizes, so alas i dont think it is is a good idea

No problem, the OD of the 285/45 and the 255/50 is nearly identical. Running 4 tires all the same is no problem, I use 255/50 all four corners of the 4.4i.

Trix I was going to to this also but all the tires places said no, basically what they said to me is that fitting a 255/50 19" on a 10j alloy as opposed to fitting the stock 285/45 means the 255/50 will have to stretch somewhat to fit, so stretching outwards would I guess reduce the side wall height and the rolling circumference, so the back and the front wont be that in sync...hmmmm

I can't believe the amounts of snake oil still being doled out......
