Hey crew, so I finally got the chance to mount these on the car!
This is exactly the look I was going for. I wanted something meaty and wide. Specs: Front: 19x9.5 ET33 with 285/40 Rear: 19x9.5 ET33 with 285/40 I only drove on these for about 20 miles so no reviews yet, but they definitely feel better than the 20 inch that I had. Don't mind the missing center caps, looking for some full black BMW caps. Also fender flare is off because I took off the bumper to installed some intercooler protecting mesh, still haven't put them back on. Excuse the pictures and poor edit, messed with the lighting so you guys can see the wheels clearer.

Got pics of mesh install? I will need to do that when I install mine eventually.

I have 245-45-19 in front, and to keep it into the same diameter, I need to go 275-40-19 or 315-35-19.
Since 315 are almost impossible to find and very very very expensive, Ill put 275 or change all 4 to get 285 in the back. do you have a ass shot to see how wide are the tires? like so : |

Looks awesome OP. I always worry about really good/wide tires sticking TOO well on an SUV in a fairly quick turn. Keep us posted on feel/turn issues. I almost rolled my Land Cruiser once because I was thinking I was in my GC.......lifted the drivers side inside wheels on a lefthander..scared the crap out of me lol.

Yep, 315's fill out the back of the X3 pretty well.

Drawback is more weight..=longer stopping distances. Do you feel any difference with the bigger meat/more weight? (Not that an X3 is any lightweight in itself)..

Loving your set up man, thanks for sharing! Looking into getting a similar tire/wheel set up myself for my '11 X3 35i. Any rubbing/fitment issues especially up front?

Thank you!
Thanks! No real issues, sometimes there is a slight rub on the passenger side when I full lock the wheels to left only when backing up though its due to the oil cooler fins on the fender liner, I bet I could trim them 10mm and be set. The ride is better, the handling is better, gas mileage is same. The only other thing I'm worried about is replacing a tire if I need to because the size 285/40 is rare and expensive.
