On amazon Canada site I see this model, lifting height range is 6.1~17.7 inch, I like the idea, but don't own it yet:

Maximus,

What size tires did you replace? I have same X5 as you, color and all, currently with 275/40R21 and 315/35R21 rears. Would like to replace with some Michelins.

Yes, I used to have the same size tires currently you have on your X5. I have the original tires covered and stored in my backyard, not sure if I want to return this beast after the lease end. I am still very happy with the new tires

Just to confirm, these larger tires work ok with the air suspension clearance?

Yes I would also like to know for my X7 with air suspension?
I currently have 22" staggered summer tyres 275/40/22 and 315/35/22 and looking to change to 21" staggered winter tyre set up 275/45/21 and 315/40/21.
Looking at 1010tyres.com converter the difference is below 3% therefore appears to be ok from a similar wheel revolution point of view?
Also on the idrive screen it recommends 285/45/21 however what would the reduce width of the tyre do to the vehicle if I opted for 275's which are easier to source?

Updates From +5 Sidewall Ratio Members?

Still looking to get rid of my factory 21” runflats, and replace them with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV tires with +5 over factory sidewall ratios (e.g. 40 to 45 front, 35 to 40 back).

Any new updates or feedback from those of who’ve gone this route? Anyone notice the extra ground clearance? In the event of a flat tire, would there be any issues with using the factory size 21” spare?

Thanks…

correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the factory space saver spare is not 21" but rather a 19" wheel with tire size 155/80R19.

if you replaced all factory tires with upsized 275/45R21 and 315/40R21 then had a flat and used the space saver spare, that's a 6% difference. the xDrive system would throw an error and you could likely cause damage to the drivetrain which would also likely not be covered under warranty because you mounted non-OEM-spec tires. (the difference between OEM-spec 21" tires and the 19" space saver spare is 3%.)

Good point, thanks. Yes, I just checked and you are correct, the factory space saver spare tire size is 155/80R19.

Most cars don't come with spare don't they?

In my opinion It's seems not worth spending 3-400$ for spare

if vehicle still new and has roadside assistant near by…

Unless If you live in Mars or desert, it make sense for me.

Has anyone put 295/40ZR21 square on the 21" staggered set-up (ex. 741m wheels)?

araje I currently have the same question as you did last year....did you find out more on the Bottle Jack vs Floor Jack situation for the X5?

I can go do a floor jack but that would be my 2nd preference. I would really prefer those bottle jacks which are low profile and portable.
I found a good bottle jack on Harbor Freight - 8ton with minimum retracted height at 9in and 4ton with min height at 7in. I would prefer the 8ton one.

The issue is with he 8ton one starting at 9in height, there is no place to have the jack pad https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The bottle jack's protruding arm has a circular top (1 and 1/2in) diameter.

2 questions - can I do the bottle jack compared to floor jack? here's the link (https://www.harborfreight.com/8-ton-...ack-56734.html) and if so can I avoid the jack pad.

Hello Maximus, if you get a chance could you please post a zoomed out side profile view of the vehicle with these tires? Just wondering if the overall larger diameter profile would look odd or not. I would really like to go this route as well just concerned that they may look oversized within the wheel wells. Is your vehicle on standard suspension (not lowered)?
