In comparision the X5's 315/35/20 is 729mm!........+7.20%).

These tyres should fit your X3;you will just be riding 10mm lower than standard!(1.44% better accelleration,less top speed)

Just checked Hartge's wheels/tyres for the X3 and coincidentally they used
Front:245/35/20
Rear:275/30/20

So,if price is right,go ahead buy them..........
