Staggered 19" style 230's on my E92 Xi
just snapped a couple quick shots with the phone...I think H&Rs are going on soon....the wheel gap is just annoying the heck outa me!!! So far no problems with the staggered set up. I also just brought my car in for service this past Saturday and the dealership did not say anything.

looks good. I just did H&R coilovers on my XI made a huge difference looks soooooo much better. The gap looks more pronounced with the 19's at least mine did.
Oh yeah I'm running 235/35's and 265/30's with no issues.

Let us know if you start getting any problems with the traction control going off when it normally shouldn't. Also i haven't checked the numbers yet, but if you ever replace a tire when the rest of the tires are worn (due to puncture or some other damage) you might actually need to replace all 4 tires. Those tires sizes come out to .7% difference

look hot bro! I knew these wheels and tires would fit now if I only can find someone selling a set...I would have ordered mine this way if they did, My XI has the 189s on it..

Have you notice any improvement with grip on smooth surfaces with the slightly wider tires...i know the rft bridgestones like to skip when taking turns on bumpy roads. I'm trying to decide on my summer set of tires and wheels and i really like the 230s for their oem look and the way they have design cues of the coupe body built in (concave and crease).

They look great on your car.
Just a quick question, did you buy those tires new or transferred them over from your old rims? The reason I ask is because the diameter difference is around 0.7% which is fairly close to the 1% limit on the xi's. I am sure its not big problem but there is also another good combination for the 19's that make the difference in the diameter between them only 0.1%. Either way, those rock on the car |

If you're going to get new summer tires, stick with non rft's...consider the PS2's. |
