550i xdrive staggered

Hey guys,
Well just trade-in my 08 E90 M3, for a 5501 Xdrive m sport in white.
Now looking for a staggered wheel set-up.

What the best offset to use on a F10 staggered?
anybody got a set of 20 VMR VB3 installed on a F10 yet?

Maybe looking for a wheel that is very concave.

Thanks

I thought staggered wheels set-up is a no-no on AWD vehicles?

from my understanding,
As long as you have the same diameter as the fronts,
No probs.

Don't forget the North American model's computer is calibrated to a non staggered setup, therefore, there is a small chance (pending on how sensitive the computer is) message may pop up due to wheel rotational variance even though a staggered setup is totally fine.

F: 20*8.5 et 33
R: 20*9.0 et 44

F: 21*9.0 et 38
R: 21*10.5 et 45

Thanks bobblehead

Maybe with any car if the tire setup is out of range of the calibration for the DSC it will do a cel, or the DSC will fonction sooner, or later then with a correct sizing.

I wanna figure this out before ordering some wheels.

We gotta get a nice stance on the xdrive too

Staggered wheels can work on AWD vehicles as long as the rolling diameter is still within the recommend range.

We have done a handle full of staggered fitments on AWD vehicles and the owners have been extremely happy and there have been no complaints.

Charles, thanks for the post. I've been looking at a staggered set for my 550i X, but have found conflicting info. It's good to hear you have good installs.
