Im looking for a a non staggered setup for the E55 knowing that the factory setup doesn't allow tire rotation. Any help or pointers would be great appreciated.

I'm also looking for a dual concave rims if anyone knows of any that has a fitment for the E55

Someone here is running a square setup with CLS wheels and 275s, I think?

Edit - Found the thread. Maybe not CLS wheels, but it is a square setup.

What is your motivation exactly? That might yield you better tips, everyone it seems has their different reasons. If you are hoping to save money on tires I 100% guarantee your you are barking up the wrong (and more expensive) tree.

im trying to save a bit of money by running a square setup

I'm running rears on the front. Not sure If you'll save money though. front tires will now cost more.

HeissRod

You may be able to rotate them to make the rears last longer, but I'd guess that the you will end up with less life out of the front tires compared to the staggered setup, since they spend half their life as rears.

If you bought an E55 to save money you made a poor choice.

lol at these responses.

chinatownabc

true that, however i seen people do say that tires last half of the indicated tire life if staggered for instance if tires says 45k miles then roughly around 20k to 25k they are balding

just trying to save a bit here and there for future upgrades

btw anyone running et28 rims on their E55?

RikTT

That heavily & primarily depends on the wheel width. Then, a proper fitting tire.

HeissRod

18x7 et28....done

chinatownabc

True my ideal setup would be 19x9.5 or 19x9 et28 with 275/35/19 or 275/30/19

chinatownabc

Are you running a square setup with 18x7et28 also what tires sizes you running?

HeissRod

No, I'm running 17x6 in the back

poohlvhun

Dang. Skinny is the new fat eh?

HeissRod

I'm not a fan of stretched tires, so I run a 315 on these skinny *****es.

chinatownabc

So how you run 315 on 17x6 rims?? Im a newbie to tires, rims and offset stuff any info would help, and thanks HeissRod for the link before helped a bit

HeissRod

I'm being facetious. I run 20s, like my sig pic shows.
