My 2 cents...
Looks great but I'm more likely to do the 265/295 config if available the next tire replacement.

Re excessive understeer, few of us are tracking our X3Ms or driving at the limits but the average owner can play with the car and learn the characteristics long before just loosing it and plowing into a wall during daily driving...

One, any snow/ice winter climate will quickly show the limits but we all know to switch out to winters or at least all seasons.

Two, any cloverleaf on-ramp can be an opportunity to find the limits and characteristics. Stock sizes and Micheline PS4-SUV, I can hit nearly 70 mph on a ramp marked at 25 mph, and barely get into the fronts scrubbing a bit.
We aren't going to blindly hit it at 80 just to see what happens.

Three, an autocross or skid pad opportunity is a great way to learn at limit handling but despite the likely tendency to understeer at the limit, the OP isn't going to just loose it and crash into a wall, especially with X Drive and DSC, the car will react as fast as anyone to counter that....

PS: a fun experience was when on-track, an instructor reversed the stagger on his 323i and put wider new tires on front. A fun ride with instant over-steer conditions but the guy could drive and compensated to the point he was passing Mustangs and Corvettes with his 170hp 323i!

Dude being a fat-tire-fan myself I’ve done the math and have been saying for years that with the right offsets 325’s are possible. Tight but possible! I’ve just been waiting till my 295’s are worn to pull the trigger. Thanks for sharing, car looks AWESOME! Love it!

That set up looks amazing. I put 325/30/21 Pilot Sport Cup 2’s on my X6M because they’re .6” wider than the factory Michelin 4S (in the same size!). I’m wondering if these would fit this model. How much room did the spacers leave you on the suspension side?
