OEM front is 245/45/19 on a 8.5" rim with ET38
Calculations from willtheyfit - and presuming the 9.5" ET35...
"Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 9.7mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 15.7mm more than before."

The 9.5 wheel might not cause any clearance issues - but your final answer could very well depend on which tires you decide to use. Some brands could cause rubbing when close to full steering lock or when the suspension is compressed.

Seriously, clean up that garage floor, your X4 will thank you...
Just put about 1500 miles on the Michelin's AS3+ no complaints other than its wearing a bit fast.

M5 style 166 wheels

Do you guys think that the M5 166 19 inch wheels would have a similar fitment on my X3 with the same tire sizes that BE X used? The 166 wheels are 19 X 8.5" OFFSET 33MM and 19 X 9" OFFSET 44MM. Thanks. Actually I think they are the the 351 wheels.

Based on the stated dimensions and offsets, they should fit (rears being slightly narrower than the staggered F25 9.5" wheels will pull your's inboard a little bit.)
