Hello guys.
Hoping someone can give me an idea of the widest possible tire on these factory 21"s. I believe staggered factory setup is 245/30 in the front and 275/30 in the rear. Hoping I can get up to atleast a 275 front and 295 rear. I'll also be running 15mm spacers front and 20mm rear with roughly a 3/4" drop |

If you want wider tires, your best approach is a custom set of 21s with the proper offset to run a wider tire. I think the max I was told you can run is 255/295 on the 7 but will be a low profile tire. I opted for 20" and stayed stock size to maintain comfort. I posted some pictures. I would have preferred 21" but I didn't want to sacrifice the ride quality/comfort with the lower profile wheels just to get a slightly bigger tire. 275/305 or 315 would be sick but I was told it's not possible. Hopefully someone with some G11/12 experience can chime in.

Also considering widening the stock wheel to be able to safely fit 295 or even 305s. Tire size calculator showing that my Speedo and fit should be pretty similar running 275 front and 295 rear. Guess I've just gotta put them on and see if it's a fit. Nittos run narrow but all I've been able to find in the 30/21" is the Michelin and pirelli. |

I have a set of factory rims I had widened and I am running 335 in the rear and 285 in front with 20mm spacer. I actually had this on my G11, then traded it in for G12 and liked the new rims more so I had those modified also. I have the other set if you want to get it.
I have pictures of both cars. |

Here are some pics of em on the 2020 and you can see the other wheels that are on my car now. The wheels cost me $3200 and the widening was $1600 plus $600 for powdercoating, so $2200. I could not find 12.0" wide rear wheels with the right offset, and the front is now 9.5" I love the stock black look and wheels look perfectly OEM which I like. |

Thanks. btw-both your 7 series are G12's. We never got the G11 here in the states. The 11 vs 12 signifies wheelbase and not preLCI vs LCI. Both look amazing btw. |
