i know most of you have the staggered 19" tire/wheel setup, but does any member have the 245/35/19 setup for all 4??? wondering how it would look??? i'm exploring this option because i want to rotate the tires. the additional performance of the staggered setup is secondary for me. coming from mercedes, the e60 sports package w/ active roll stabalization is more than plenty, imo.

 

i don't think that it'll look bad. width wise, it should look the same as the 18''s setup 245/40/18.

where in the bay are you?

 

brentwood, ca. some people mistaken me from brentwood, united kingdom probably because my user name is royal8.

i think i read somewhere that i can use the same tire pressure sensors, y or n??

 

cool. i'm not to far from you. i'm in pleasanton.

i heard that some have used the same sensors as long as they fit. good luck. make sure you post some pics when you're set up.

 

I had 245/17's all round on my former E60 530iSE (with sport suspension) and the handling was fabulous - the larger rears are essential for traction on the higher-powered models, but not up to the 530 - having the same all round gave a fantastically neutral balance.

 

The difference between 245 and 275 to the eye from looking at the rear end of your car is little to nothing in all honesty. I think you can only tell once your in the 285 or 295 range. I had a non staggered setup on some lorinsers a while ago and honestly, I liked the ride a bit more

 

I think that if you want to upgrade your wheels on an x-drive model, you would have to stay with the same width front and rear.

Unless BMW says that it is ok to run a staggerred setup. Mercedes says no.
