I still don't get it. from your reference chart, do you mean any 7 x17 or 8 x 17 with ET39 and ET46 will fit? now I have to check the E90 offset to see it will match. if it matches, then I can use my E90 wheels in the X3, am I correct?

I think you will find the offset for your E90 rims is +34.
Not sure if you will have 7.5" or 8" width in a 17" E90 rim. You really have to do some calculations, bringing in the width of the tire also if that is different. I think the E90's will "fit" but the compromises are: - your X3 track will increase a bit - the X3 wheel bolts should seat O.K. in the E90 rims but not a perfect match (17mm. vs.15mm hex head) See: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=266733 |

Thanks Johnn,
I have a set of snow tires mounted on E90 17" rim here that I think I should keep for future use in case I buy a X3. God, last 2 months in Vancouver the snow was terrible. I had snow wheels on my E90 and I can't even move at all brand new and only used 1 season. if I know for sure it will not fit then I am better off selling it now.
