Winter Tire Setup Work?
 

Hi There,

I have a 2002 bmw e53 x5 with sport package and winter is around the corner.
I also been looking at some winter tires and I see that they are expensive. I have the 19 inch rims, its 255/50/19 and rear 285/45/19 and I found a set of used pirelli snow and ice and they are all four 255/55/19 Is this setup possiable to run with rear and front?

I am running 255/55/19 for winter ... no problem

i think hes asking if the 255 tires will fit on the rear wheels. I'm not sure, but i know you can get the pirelli scorpions in the size you need

Are you running the same setup?

19x9
19x10
????????

Hey guys, I am running 18's for my winter set up and am curious what it will do to my speedometer? Any insight would be appreciated.

255/55 All around
My rims are 8.5F 9.5R

are they oem 19 inch for e53? im not sure i guessed that for the stock ones because mine are off a 2002 bmw x5 sport package

My winter wheels is Hamann Pg2

you think that it will be alright to run that setup for winter?

255/55/19 tires won't fit on your rear wheels. I have a 2003 with sport package and couldn't find any snow-rated tires that fit the wider rear wheels. The sport package is not meant for snow and ice conditions, so your best bet is to buy another set of wheels for winter use only. You'll want narrower rims like 17x7.5 or 18x8.

and you can find oem rims on craigslist.com for cheap! I have a set of 18's I am willing to let go if anyone wants them...
