I have absolutely no experience putting tire chains on an X5, let alone one with 20" tires. However, lots of years in snow country taught me that on 4wd pickups and service trucks, the first set of chains always went on the front wheels. If that wasn't enough, you needed two sets of chains, but usually at that point driving wasn't such a good idea anyway. Steering and stopping were more important than going, basically.
I am not sure what the handling of the X5 would be like with chains on the front only.
