Hello. Are these with spacers? If not, what offset did you used?

Thanks

What wheel offsets is needed for perfectly flush fitments? I don't wanna use spacers at all, I want the wheels to be flush.

Did you end up putting springs? I'm really on the fence about it. Don't want to have to switch them out every time I go to the dealership and am worried it will give it a bumpy ride.

I did but I have an X4 M40i not an X3, so ride will vary depending if you have EDC/DDC or Standard Suspension
Ride is harsher, I actually went from 20s to 19s due to how bad ride was.
I don't see ANY benefits after adding springs all I noticed was lowered nice stance.
I would do BC-Racing Coilovers and Dealers don't care about springs or suspension.
Actually if they do switch dealership

Called both dealerships in my area and both of the Service Managers told me not to put on springs or coil overs. I love the look of the lowered x3 but don't think it's worth the harsher ride. I've had cars on coilovers and airbag hydraulics and am tired of the harsh ride. Granted those were dropped a LOT more then an inch or two so it was much worse.

What do you think of this wheel. It looks like a cross between a M5 wheel and the 369m wheel

I've found a guy on CL selling his X5 wheels - set of 4 255/25/19 with 5 spoke BMW alloys. Will these work on the F25? I have the pre LCI 2012 xdrive with Sport package. Its currently rocking 245/50/18s all around.

I'm just not sure if you can run anything wider than 245s on the front.

Hey I checked one of the offset calculator websites and noticed that the center bore of X3= 72.6. And the X5 is 74.1. That would mean that it would be loose could cause vibrations. Not sure if you could find hub centric rings to keep them truly centered.

As for width of tire. I’m pretty sure you could go 255 in the fronts on stock wheels. If the after market wheel has a lower offset ( sticks out away from the strut) then for sure you can go wider. For example I once tried my 335i 10” wide drag radials (275/35/19) on the front of the X3 and it fit It did stick out past the fender a little bit. But the offset was lower than OEM.

There was a post that was removed above mine that was a spammer. I didn’t quote it because I didn’t want it copied again.

It wasn’t you. That person was pasting crap all over the threads.

Sorry, it looks bad now that it’s gone!
