Question: When you add the 20 inch option to a 50 or a 35 does the factory install larger flares? Comparing a build with 19s looks a little different than a build with 20's . The build with the 20's seems to have bigger flares.

Can anyone confirm this?

I am thinking about order a 50 with 19's and then buying (214) 20's for a sweet summer set up. Will I need to buy flares as well?
All true.

Extended flares come with 20" wheel option only though they can be purchased and installed. You only need some plastic rivet tool to do it right (search for a post by DaRip)

If you don't like the 20s, get the 19s with all seasons, then buy a set of 214 reps with summer rubber and get the flares. I have purcahsed a set of 214 reps for my wife's X5 but had winter rubber put on. They look great. Best of all worlds (unless you get the 20s like I did and buy X6M reps with winter tires Then you are big 20 ballin all the time
