Hello guys.
I have read allot in this forum and in a norweigan forum.
But i cant find the answear for my question.
Can i use this setup for my car:
Rear: 285 25 20
Front: 245 30 20
Will there be a problem because of Xdrive?
Will there be any subbing?
If this is not a good setup. What would be the best choice
for my car. Driving and look.
I am getting more and more confused the more I read.
Regards Morten

Hi Morten,
I've been doing a lot of research on this topic and so far everyone I've spoken with has said that the staggered fitment is okay with XDrive.
The best setup I've found for 20's is the following:
Front: 245 35 20
Rear: 285 30 20
This equates to:
Front Diameter: 26.80 Inches
Front Revolutions per Mile: 776
Rear Diameter: 26.80 Inches
Rear Revolutions per Mile: 776
So that makes the tires match perfectly. HOWEVER, I am not 100% sure that the 285's will clear in the rear.
Is there anyone out there that confirm the 285's fit in the rear?
The setup you inquired about has the following:
Front Diameter: 25.80 Inches
Front Revolutions per Mile: 804
Rear Diameter: 25.60 Inches
Rear Revolutions per Mile: 811
