New Meats!

sudermatt · 01-17-2019, 10:18 PM

I bought an xDrive earlier this year. I'm been thinking about doing some light offroading...just cruising dirt back roads and such...but was a little worried about the 225 45s not having alot of sidewall.

Well, I'm driving to mammoth tomorrow for some powda and decided to get new tires.

i got the MEATS! 245 45s on the stock 18 inch wheels. I am really happy with the look. Fills the wheel wells nicely...and I think it will give me some peace of mind offroading.

I added almost an inch of width and 3/4 of an inch of height.
No...there is no rubbing.

Nice… I Have been thinking about getting some 17 with some off-road tires to replace my 19’s during winter

Yeah...I was thinking the same thing...get some real sidewall when I want to go offroading....but I also wanted some meats....I absolutely love the new look. can't wait to see how it handles...too much rain to play right now.

also looking forward to seeing how it handles in the snow. haven't taken it in the snow yet....this will be my first trip.
