This is probably one of the most discussed, repeated topics on the xi forum. PLEASE every now and then...

I'm running staggered 19's on my 07 335xi e90 non-sport. No problems at all. As was stated, the tire diameter must be less than 1%. On 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear, I run 225/40 and 265/35.

The only consideration you need to make is with AWD the diameter on all four tires needs to be the same. Otherwise you will jack up the transfer case and I'm guessing that won't be covered under your warranty.

Do a search and you'll find quite a few threads in this section that talk about the repercussions of running different tire diameters on the front and back.
Same here - I went to 19's with 235s in the front and 265s in the rear I believe

Zoeb@Wheeldude helped me out a bunch
