i don't know if its truly bad, let alone how bad, but if they came square, probably leave them square.
but, during the summer, i might try staggered if i were in your shoes and see how it goes |

I run staggered on my 640xi, and I recall them being 20x8.5 and 20x9.0, and 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20. |

I have the same tire sizes as you. Only the rear rims are a little bigger. 20x10. I had them on my E90, so they will definitely clear on the F13. I just don't want to mess up the tranny or drivetrain. I was also thinking maybe run the car on sport+ mode which shuts off the awd system and the car becomes a rwd. We'll see... |

I know the rims will clear without any problems. My concern is the effects of having staggered wheels on an awd vehicle. Would it kill the transmission or the drivetrain? : |

Simple answer: No. BMW offers the X drive coupe with optional staggered 20" setup.

2015 640ix Staggered Question
I am interested in putting staggered rims on my 6. I have seen a lot of info about it and I know it is possible to do without damaging the xdrive. I am looking at some wheels that are 20" x 9"et35 front and 20" x 10.5"et38 rear's with a 72.6cb. Any idea if this setup will damage anything?

BTW...what is the wheel bolt pattern? The f06/f12/f13 six series has a 5x120mm wheel bolt pattern...if you're going to use a wheel with a different wheel bolt pattern, you may need to use some type of adapter...so its dimensions will also need to be added to your calculation.

It's quite 'normal' to have mixed sets in the 'show' cars but as said X-Drive does not take much tolerance between front and rear tires, in the end it's the same what charts says other 275/35/19 tire can have bigger outsize than other so it's an risk always.
With X-Drive it would be wise to have same tire in every corner ...... but as many of us I'm riding mixed 245/40/19 front / 275/35/19 rear summer tires. |
