Yes. 275/30/20 and 295/30/20 are not a good combo. You’ll want a 285/30/20 for the front if you’re running 295/30/20 rears for xdrive

Awesome, I went with the signature center caps also. It gives the wheel a different look.

Do you mind to elaborate on this statement? I am considering using 275/30/20 in the front to avoid rubbing. The rear will be 295/30/20. I am curious to learn more about this. Thanks in advance.

Are you XDriver or RWD?

See attached comparisons. With 275/30 the rear diameter is almost 2% larger. With 285/20, it’s 1.1%. I’m no expert but have read with XDrive, you want to keep it at 1% or lower.

Mine is RWD, I don't mind going to 285 but just concerned with rubbing with wider tires.

xDrive cars need their front and wheel tire overall diameter to be within 1-1.1%, or else the car will throw drivetrain errors. If your car is RWD only, then you won't have any issues.

This being said, a 285/30/20 will not rub in the front if you're using a stock rear wheel as a front.

I've been adhering to 1% or lower for my G80 and my previous G20. However, I came across a couple of xDrive owners that have been running a 2% difference without any drivetrain issues.

I've been thinking about HRE 527. Anyone have any thoughts on brushed clear with gloss charcoal windows? Or should I keep it simple and stick with all brushed clear with polished lips. Car is skyscraper grey w/ stealth PPF

I'm picking up my 527S next week. Mine are frozen clear face with polished lip. Are you in Philly? If so, you can come and check mine after installed them.

Nice! What color is your car?
You got the 3-piece it sounds like? I wasn’t going to do frozen because that would be too much matte.


Yes, I’m in Montco. You?

I thought they all came with the HrE engraved logo. Are there other options?

I bought them used so I didn't order. However I like the flange lip over angled lip which I have other wheels on my Ferrari. Not sure about the logo because I have seen no logo wheels.

Damn where did you find such beautiful wheels used for sale? And can I ask what you paid for them?

An M3 and a Ferrari? Nice.
