... or you mean rubbing issue with style 95? If yes, I think if you use that offset your fender lip will be over top of the tire so when hitting something like road dip it'll rub.
Thanks Blastiwi and norsecarnut for the feedback, it sounds like it's probably not a good idea to get those wheels to avoid any rubbing issues.

I saw this thread and dreamed it would work . I'm glad I checked here..

This is a 19x10, ET25 w/ a 255 rear. This is the widest tire possible w/o rubbing on these wheels, so forget about running a 275.

So ET25 and 255 rear width using what profile? And what width & profile up front ... 'cuz xi/xDrive must have a specific tire characters for matching rolling diameter.

See post #674 (pg 68) in this thread for my other pics.
Front: 19x8, ET40 with 225/40R19
Rear: 19x10, ET25 with 255/35R19
0.23% rolling diameter difference front to rear, no problems with AWD.

Ummm, stupid question. In the case of an emergency like a blowout, would it be ok to use the donut tire that came with the car, would it screw up the tcase in anyway running the 19s I currently have on and 1 spare?
