X3 25i... no such animal in the Second Generation BMW X3 (F25)!

Perhaps a 2.8i or 3.5i in your part of the world.


If you want to see which wheels (and tyres) fit BMW X3s carry out a cross reference here....

for 7 series try this link...

Thanks for the link but that doesn't help me in figuring out whether or not the wheels will fit. The site only tells us the size of wheels/tires the cars with.

I doubt whether any one else has ever tried this. There could be brake caliper clearance issue and other problems. Your best bet is to ask BMW.

I actually just fitted the OEM M Sport wheels from the 650i (Style 373) onto my X3, similar sizes to what you have. Those fronts will fit just fine, might have a little bit of "poke" as the offset is quite low. This is where they stick out of the wheel wells a little. The rears on the other hand might need a spacer.

The tire sizes are what BMW uses for the OEM 20" X3 upgrade, so they're perfect. However, I chose to go with a square tire setup, 255/40-20.

My picture below for reference.

OEM style 373
20x8.5" ET33 front
20x9" ET44 rear (with 10mm spacer)
