Hi Everyone,

I Am looking at OEM star BMW rims for my 2005 X3 2.5i. They are 19x9" and the tires i would be putting on are 245/45/19 Falken FK-452 (from a friend).
-----Stock equipment is 235/55/17 tires and 17 x 8" rims-----

I was told that they might rub on the frame by the dealer. They recommend 19 x 8.5" front and 19x9" back

Does the 1/4 inch really matter with the front tire?

Would this be a safe move installing the rims?

Thanks,

Robert
