Staggered Tires..?

bEchev25 · 12-22-2021, 08:37 AM

I know the 135i comes staggered from the factory, but do I HAVE TO keep it like that? Can I get all 4 the same size? What changes will I experience due to the change

No, yes, and you wouldn't notice a thing unless you're really pushing it around corners.

No, absolutely not. You don't need to stay staggered. The problem is that you can go noticeably larger in the rear than you can in the front. A lot of people don't think 245 mm is enough tire for the power of the 135i, but that's about as large as you can go in the front without rolling fenders and -2° camber. I think a few people have fit 255 in the front, but that's going to come down to tire choice.

If you can be content with 245 mm all around, go for it!
