Just compiling a neater list of options which I'll do tonight with pictures. But it's basically (in no particular order)...
1. X6M replicas 20x10 with 275/40/20 winter rubber on all 4 corners
Questions -
a. Not sure how far out or in this will make the back tire/rim combo stick vs stock.
b. Not sure if the X6M replicas will fit a SA X5 (non M)
2. SA replicas in black (214 I think) 20x9.5 front and 20x10.5 in back with 275/40/20 winter rubber on all 4 corners
Questions -
a. Not sure how far out or in this will make the back tire/rim combo stick vs stock.
b. Not sure if 275/40 rubber on a 10.5 inch rear rim will be too stretched
3. X5 with web pattern in dark gray 20x10 front and 20x11 in back with 275/40/20 winter rubber front and 315/35/20 rubber in back
Questions -
a. Not sure if this would fit
b. I think 315 may be too wide for a winter setup

I run the X6M replicas in the winter with Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow tires. Staggered. You have to try VERY hard to get any loss of traction. I'm not saying 18 in thinner wheels/tires wouldn't do better, I'm just saying with OEM spec 20's and the Scorpions the truck was unstoppable through one of New England's worst winters in decades. That included several trips to northern Maine. Here's a pic of my setup...they come off this weekend though for the Summer tires on the 214s! I think I'm going to miss them...
