Hi,

I'm in the UK with a UK spec f11 2010 with 331 rims. They came as part of the Dynamic package ZGG. I'm curious to know if these rims came in squared or staggered set with this particular package. I was looking for a spare set to buy so I could put on different tyres, but when I checked out some websites and used rims for sale, they often show a staggered set of 8.5Jx19 ET33 fronts and 9Jx19 ET44 rears. So this got me thinking whether I have this set also, without having to remove or inspect the rims. I've been rotating wheels around but not thought that they could be staggered. Was this an option and was a square setup the default on this package?Dynamic package

Comprises:
– 255 Sport leather steering wheel
– 2WD 19" light alloy W-spoke style 332 with run-flat tyres – 481 Sport seats
– 760 Exterior trim, High-gloss Shadowline
– 775 Headlining, Anthracite

Thanks

 

Just look at the tires themselves. The size is stamped right on the tire. If all are the same size, you have "square" setup, if different front to back, then "staggered". If you have rotated the tires, then surely they are a "squared" setup, since "staggered" sets cannot be rotated.

 

hah! Never thought of that - doh! Yep they are all square. I was worried that I had been rotating a staggered set.

So I assume all saloons are staggered - why not touring, not that I care to have them, just for knowledge and where to find a set for winter?

 

If you are in the UK, just put on a set of "all-weather" tires and forget about for the whole year. I have had both Nokians WRG3s and Michelin Crossclimates and was (am) very satisfied.

 

Yes in the UK. I use cross climate on my wife’s car but they don’t do it on the larger sizes. I also wanted another set of rims as I’m planning on trying out standard tyres to replace run flats.
