Winter Wheels fitment help

vtsng · 09-29-2017, 12:27 PM

Looking to buy some cheap winter wheels to throw on the x3. Found a good deal on a set of style 116 on 225/45/17. I believe be offset for these are 20mm which seems to be my only concern. Anybody have any thoughts on whether or not these wheels will work with the f25?

Thanks!

My wife has OEM Style 369's on her M-Sport X3 and according to BMW, these are ET38's. I hated the spacing and gap, thus installed a set of 15/20mm spacers front/rear which fill out the spacing very nicely. With the spacers, our rim setup is effectively ET23/18. I think you should be fine with your style 116s as ET20.

I found a set of 17" wheels from older X5 with correct (40 mm) offset for $60 each. These wheels are everywhere and, in my opinion, preferable to wheels and spacers since they are an exact fit in every way. BTW, 225//45-17's are undersized for an X3's weight and will also cause speedometer error. I believe 225/60-17 is the correct sized tire.
