Default Wheel help ASAP please

I know this question has been asked a lot, I'm looking to buy Avant Garde m310 19s for my 09 535 xDrive. I want them to be staggered. I know they say your not suppose to put staggered wheels on xDrives. Does anyone else have staggered wheels on their xDrive, and is it worth taking the risk?

I do and I had them on for over 30k miles with no issues. It does nothing really but it looks good.

what size tires do you have?

you can run staggered wheels/tires as long as the outer diameter of the tires are the same front to back. too much of a difference may cause premature transfercase wear.

How do I figure out the outer diameter? I'm ordering these online and they really have no idea about staggered rims on xDrives.

Avant garde will tell you if you call them. I ordered M355s from them. Just specify that you need the AWD offset, and they'll tell you which ones you need.
