Wheel fitment help X3 M40i

Hey guys,

I've tried doing some research and from what i've seen it should work.

However would like to get some of certainty from you guys.

I just took ownership of a X3 M40i, it currently has the 21 inch wheel option.

I have a set of 20inch wheels from my old Audi SQ5 which from what i've researched should be a great fit for the X3.

Specs are:
20inch x 9.5j ET25 all round with 275x40x20 tyres
PCD: 5x112
CB 66.6

Does anyone know if this would be a good fit and not mess with teh xDrive system?

TIA

Stock 20s staggered:
Front: 20x8 ET27 with 245/45-20
Rear : 20x9.5 ET43 with 275/40-20

I'd then suggest looking at https://www.willtheyfit.com to see about fit (as of right now, the website is having rendering issues).

But it is PCD 5x112 and CB of 66.6 so that should be fine.

Ok great, so having a square setup like this will be fine for the xDrive right?
Im sure the offset will be fine as there is tons of room in fender to clear and be flush.

That setup will be perfectly fine.

Only issue I could possibly see is the front tires rubbing either the fender liners during a full turn or, the inside tire rubbing or hitting the spring.

That's my main concern too, as I consider going with 275s all the way around.

I believe Dinan uses 285/40 on their 20x10 up front.

I run 265/40 on 21x10 +30 up front lowered almost all the way down on MSS. At this height, there IS slight, slight rub on full turn.

Will raise the front a tad bit and add spacers. I'm sure it'll be fine after.

Hmmm, i guess ill just test fit and check.
Car is in at the moment for some issues upon taking delivery, so once i pick it up ill fit the wheels.
Hoping theres no issues.
I cant wait to see what it looks like as im not a fan of these OEM wheels.

Will definitely post some pics once fitted.

Will the warranty not be voided if you put non OEM wheels and non OEM format in your country?

It might yes, but i will swop over with the OEM wheels if it needs to go in for a service.

And do you see any problems with this? What tire sizes should I be looking at.

Thanks!
What are you running now? Do you have the sport differential? What kind of tires are you hoping to buy? Street only or light off-road?
