The front tires have slightly rubbed a few times when I'm backing out of a steep driveway while I turn a certain way. If I'm going straight no rubbing at all. Only when I'm in reverse with a passenger in the front and half a turn to the left. Towards the end of the summer they weren't rubbing anymore. not sure if it was because the tires wore out or the inner fender liners wore out lol
These were on a 2017 540i xdrive, m sport suspension, didn't have the adaptive suspension.
I will be trying this setup in a couple of months on my 2018 M550i which has the adaptive suspension. It sits slightly lower. So hopefully it doesn't rub any where else.

Are you running 21inch wheels on your M550i? I am thinking of getting a set of 21s for my M550i but just nervous about the tire setup. A service tech at my local BMW dealer told me a 35front/30rear height tire on 21s would throw an xDrive error message?
And 30front/25rear make me nervous with potholes |
Sorry for the late response. Never had any error messages for the xdrvie. The key is to keep the same overall tire diameter front and rear axles.
I've noticed that on the M550I when I reverse and turn the wheels a certain way it rubs slightly in the fender liners. When you're reversing the car tends to go lower from the front and higher on the rear and that's the only time it rubbed.
