Wheel and Tire Woes 2019 X3 M40i - Will these work? Ideas

I know there are plenty of threads that go into this but they all go back and forth and having a hard time figuring out if what I am looking at will fit, look right, etc...


I cannot find any aftermarket 7.5 or 8" wide wheels on Tirerack for the 2018 or 2019. The option they present me are:

https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whee...kageFlow=false

Which are the Flow One Race Spec F4 19/8.5

Q: Is the width an issue? Would they look/work ok at that width

The tires I am planning on getting are the:

NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA R3 SUV 245/50R19

https://www.nokiantires.com/winter-t...liitta-r3-suv/

Q: Would those tires fit that rim width? I assume so...


The problem for me is all the different variations 7.5-9" widths, tire sizes and what will / won't work which is why I am sticking with the 245/50R19 as that is what is OEM.

I am no tire or wheel guru so be gentle. Looking for other options too....BMW was no help as they just sent me prices on their wheels and no technical info. I don't trust eBay as I have fund that most say the wheels fit the 2018 X3 M40i but have a 5x120 bolt pattern.....Hope the experts here can help

Ultimately, I am needing a good winter rim set for those Nokian. I care more about durability and safety than I do the looks of the rim but having both would be great. I would go BMW OEM but at 1-1.5K more the practicality is not there for a set of wheels that are purely to be beat up during winter.......
