17 inch winter set up on x3 35i

Just installed Blizzak LM60 snow tires on the old SSR GT7s I ran on the traded in 335xi. I can honestly say I am pleasantly surprised how much I like the wheels on the X3 - I prefer them on the X3 than I did on the 335xi, actually. I apologize for the dirty X3 - I will get better pics after it is clean.

The wheels look fine and very "functional" as do the Blizzacks.
Also look easy to clean, which for me is always a factor for winter wheels.

Chicago has been seeing some nice weather lately. Hope it lasts and that I can make it to Dec. 1 before mounting the winter tires. However, if I lived in MN, I'd be switching next week. Happy snowplowing!

I didn't get mine changed by the first snow storm last year so I wasn't going to risk it this year! Still need to change the summers out on the GTI too...

If I recall correctly they have an offset of 35 (17X8.5)
