I agree with BMWdude2018. I would like to see wider options with lower offsets to bring the wheels more flush with the fenders and to provide some depths in the center of the wheel instead of looking so flat!

I tried my set of Signature 20” wheels from my f83 M4 on my previous e83 X3 and they fit surprisingly well in terms of offsets, but the diameter felt off, partly due to the huge fender well gap on a vehicle that was not lowered to accommodate larger diameter wheels (20x10 +23 / 20x11 +35 = very slight poke)

Another forum member put f80 M3 19” wheels on a (2nd gen) X3 and the offset and diameter looked almost perfect...

Since the G01 redesign, 21” is a now a factory option, but the offsets and low depth leaves a little to be desired. It is also unfortunate for G01 owners that BMW switched the bolt pattern from 5x120 to 5x112, so alternate BMW wheels from other platforms cannot be test fitted... leaving us with only aftermarket options.


I believe we DO have a lot of room to play with...
