My dealer says that 8.5 will be too wide, but i can see how thet are biased as they want me to buy the 8" ones that they have there. CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THE MAX WIDTH FOR ME PLEASE?

I am aware that narrower is better for winter, but .5" i dont imagine can make too much of a difference.

Thanks in advance.
In my opinion this is a very good deal on a set of 4.8is winter rims/tires - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-X...14108447QQrdZ1

Not my auction, so do your own research.

As for width, you could always add spacers if the offset of the 8.5" ones you purchase isn't correct.
