Installed 20" 469M Wheels and H&R Springs on F25 X3 xdrive35i

Installed set of 20" 469M wheels (off of x5 M-sport) on my F25 X3 xdrive35i. Currently have Pirelli RF's on them that will be swapped out.

Also installed H&R Sport Springs.

Fronts needed 5 mm spacers, ordered and installed from BimmerWorld.

Notes: Springs feel great. Front right tire was rubbing plastic on full turns so I modified a bit. Rears rub plastic slightly on larger dips when springs are compressed, not enough to mod. Coming from 19"'s and NRF tires I feel the added weight. Need to swap to NRFs asap.

Mod list:
VRSF Catless DP
Stage 2 MHD Tune
Dry Filter
20" 469M wheels
H&R Sport Springs

Quick question for OP: I am thinking about going with this setup and here are my questions:
what hub centric rings did you use to fit these 469M wheels?
Did you experience any issues with transfer case after installing them?
Did you notice any difference in acceleration, steering feel since these are wider and weight more than the regular setup?

Thank you for your input.

I’d imagine any 72.6 -> 74.1 will work. These are NLA but nothing unique about these

Hey, I have installed this exact setup too! I have a problem though with the front wheel arch rubbing on full turn. How did you modify yours??

What size tires for these wheels. I know they will be bigger than my 245/50r18 that came on the x3
