I currently have MOMO 18s. Just got them, and the tires are 285/50/18 Dunlop SP Sport 9000 all around. Difference is incredible. Except one problem, they are not much wider then my 275/55/17s. Then I saw an X54.6 and was blown away at how wide they are in the back. However, the fronts use a skinnier size.

I know 285 fit all around, I've seen 295/40/20s all around. Would 315s be pushing it, especially when I'm getting Fender Flares and want an even lower offset (these are 18x8.5 ET 38) to bring them flush the corners instead of deeply recessed inside. The handling is such an improvment just by increasing the width of the track, imagine doing it even more and having wider 315s!!!

Then I could go about lowering tha back via springs, and the front VIA the adjustable torsion bars. Not trying to slam this, just get the fender gap away. Only maybe 2"

So the question, would 315/35/20s fit? Maybe I could take the advantage in rubber the x5s always had over the MLs?

The ML430 can fit 285s all around with no mods.
The X5 4.6 can fit 295s on all around with no mods.

If you screw around with the flares and the offset of the rims, then anything is possible.
