Only you can make that decision. For me, not worth it.

Does BMW recommand tire rotation? if so, you cant rotate staggered wheels

[sfax]

Yes!! Get them. They make such a difference to the look of the car. Be vain! The m sport wheel arch trims make the wheels look small. The 20"ers will look the part and staggered gives a more aggressive stance. Do it

I am going to do it! It looks awesome! I got a quote of $5,500 for tires and wheels.

Theepz: I ordered this exact setup. I think it will make your X3 distinct. My dealer gave me 20% off for a little over $4,400. Did you get a quote for the wheels and tires for $3,800? If so I'm going back to my dealer to see if they'll match.

I assume back to the dealer on a trade for the 310's?

My dealer agreed to $4,400 and I keep the 369's. They also agreed to swap out the all-season Goodyear 245/45 19 Eagle LS2's that came mounted on the 369's for a set of Pirelli Sottozero Serie II winter tires for no extra charge.

Why cant you rotate staggered wheels?

I guess you could but you'd have wheels an inch wider on the front than on the back.

You shouldn't need to rotate the wheels anyway. I'm thought it was not recommended by BMW (not that that's a good reason not to rotate them!)

My bad, i meant you wee referring to what is also called wheel balancing. Most def you cannot rotate the tyres

[rs6655]

Because of the negative camber on the rear of BMW's the tires will wear on the inside and be shot while they still have serviceable tread on the rest of the tire. Front's are just the opposite and wear on the outside.

If you don't get staggered tires you can move front to back and get more life out of your tires.

Chitown if you are still on these boards, what dealer in Chicago did this? I would love to get the same deal. wonder if they will offer it even though I now have around 500 miles on the all season tires. $4400 before tax I am assuming (which will add another $350-$400 depending where you get them)

I was considering spending $1600-$2000 on a winter wheel set, but if I can get this setup for $2500-$3000 more I will totally do it for those wheels.

I purchased my X3 M Sport with the 310’s from Laurel BMW. However; they would only agree to swap the 19” summer tires for a winter set if the original tires were in new condition with limited miles. Plus I was a repeat customer so they were willing to accommodate me. I’ve heard from other people on this board that said that Laurel was unwilling to even negotiate from the sticker price.

Worth it? For me, doesn't work. It doesn't add a functionality that's important to me and the cost is high enough it's beyond what I can do just for fun.

If it's within your "for fun" budget, go for it! I think they look great.
