Based on my measurement, 12mm all around is the sweet spot.

Maybe 15mm front when you lower it.

Have to see when lowering kit is available.

You'll be surprised how many X3/X4/X5/X6/X7 are being lowered.

I think 20 will be good, instead of 21

like on stock sizes:
FRONT: 255/45 ZR20
REAR: 265/45 ZR20

on tun (depends on the inner size)
FRONT: 265-45 R20
REAR: 275-45 r20 or 305-40 r20

I think there are a lot of options, if u will change +-1cm wheel diameter


Probably i will order BBS FR-I, on my m3 f80 i ordred HRE and it was big mistake.

BTW, my brother has a x3 f25 with BBS CI-R nur edition, they are cheaper 3 times than FR-I and loooks also stunning! I will post photo in next post

X3 F25 with BBS CI-R 255/45 all around 19size ET40

For stock car - i would keep stock sizes, if you will go stage2 (decat +remap), probably u will need 295 at the rear and 275 on front

Also there is option to cut wheel diameter, instead of use 275-45-R20 - we will use 275-40 R20 on front and 295-40 R20 on rear, looks really nice, car goona drop just 5mm down. Looks the best option.

Ideally, we will have lots of options to get more section width in both the front and rear on some nice BBS or HRE rims. Personally, I'm hoping for an 20" FI-R fitment with something like 255/265s in front and 295/305s in back. I have no idea if this is even possible, but curious to find out. I'm really liking the potential look of satin black FI-Rs or similar on a Donnington Grey X3M Comp.

Other thoughts/aspirations?

Main problem is not the wheel sizes, anyway u can make a custom ET or use spacers... the real problem - is the to find right tire to use it.

For example here is mich 4s sizes:

These sizes (in 4S) does not exist, even 275/40/21 for the rear, for the front u can swap from rear))

What about 265 40 21 front 295 35 21 rear. Available Michelin , Pirelli and Cont.
This is same setup as Glc63 and Macan Turbo

Looks good, rear wheels are 10j, right? 295 it's max width for 10j wheel

But i think 20 size is better, more comfortable and better grip, no?

[Detailers Domain]

looking good with the spacers!

[Detailers Domain]

the spacers look sick!

BBS already has X3M in the application guide - https://www.bbs-usa.com/application_guide/#/wheels

No FI-R, but there are LMs and CI-R sized for the platform

BBS has a 19" option on their application guide for the X3MC, but honestly, I doubt it'll fit. Anyone try running 19s??

[nyalpine90]

anyone with DG X3 with 20" aftermarket wheels?

is there a thread with aftermarket wheels?

If it fits it would be awesome
Because it will be lighter and all you have to do after that is lower the car and it will drive 200% better and you can even sleep in it comfortably one person only

No, it will not, tires weight more than the wheel, also 19 will look super ugly, 20 is minimum minimum for x3m

The F97 X3M is the same as F90 M5, 5x112

We installed Future Classic 5x112 wheel spacers on our X3M. 15mm fronts is an aggressive fitment.

15mm Front
12mm Rear

Had no idea that was the case. Guess I'll have a find a set of nice OEM M5 wheels that I really like & can get a sweet deal on.

[Kevin_The_Clean1]

One more question since where on the subject. Are the genuine OEM Style 765M wheels forged... ?

A new friend is confident that they are but I'm not so sure of that.

My point was to lower the center of gravity and also give the car some agility because that wheels that come with it are too have and too big and actually have been changed on the 2022 model as they took 3 kilos of each wheel on a new dine made by BMW that looks a lot like the wheels that are used on the M3 and four current models…

Do it...I reckon oem 19" x 9.5" et 26mm double spokes from F9x M5 (705m) or M8 (812m) would work really well all round F9xM

705m



812m
