Will these wheels/tires fit my 2014 X1?
I had a 2003 330 Ci until a truck hit it and totaled it. I had my snow tires/wheels on it during the crash so I have my factory wheels still and I'm curious if they'll fit my new X1. Sorry, a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff.
I have a new 2014 xDrive28i. The old tires were: Front: 225 40 18 Rear: 255 35 18 I have no idea what all tires would fit those wheels, if they would then fit on the X1 and what effect they would have on performance. Thoughts? |

Std fit for staggered tires on 18" wheels is:
225/45/18 255/40/18 So you are slightly undersized by 3% and 4%. In general, the recommended difference is no more than about +/-3%. Other more knowledgable than me can offer more guidance. The other question is the offset. What is it. That tends to be the bigger factor. |

Front to rear needs to be within the below 4% range. The 225/40 255/35 is .5% +/- of eachother depending on tire manufacturer. Being slightly shorter tires overall will reflect your speed slightly due to a smaller rolling diameter.
I run 225/35/19 and 265/30/19 due to my ride height and there have been no ill effects for 15,000 miles and ive been lowered 5" for a year, i also run 235/40/18 square on my stock staggered M sport wheels for snows. |

No, it does not always. As said above our M-Sport with all seasons came with a square setup of 225/45/18. Summer performance will get you the staggered.
I suppose it is possible some are coming with all-season and stagger set up but that ain't what is sitting in my garage. YMMV. |
