As previously posted I'd like to switch to the sport wheels, does anyone know if it would cause a problem with the AWD functionality/performance if I used a set of sport wheels as they come on the S couple--i.e. different sizes front & rear?

Thanks in advance.

 

Someone's gonna give you the "search is your friend" speech any minute....

However, you can't do it. The AWD needs to have standard diameter tires all around. The staggered width setup doesn't really matter, but they're not identical in diameter. If you really want the 19' sport wheels on your X, then you should try to find two sets of used wheels, put either all four fronts or all four rears on your car, then sell the other four to someone else looking to do the same thing.

 

FYI-Be careful with aftermarket wheels as well with your 4WD or risk voiding the warranty.

 

Yeah dude, I drive the x coupe and wanted to get the 19" S wheels, but having to go through the hassle of buying 2 different sets, selling a few, etc etc was far too much of a hassle. And whatever rims you choose, you have to get all the same size. You'll find lots of good rims out there

 

i think if you use tires that have the same overall diameter you'd be ok.

 

we threw 20's on the G37x coupe for the showroom car. no problems w/ the TPMS or ride. it's a little stiffer thats it
