I just posted this on another person's thread....as I looked into winter options last year....
I bought from BMW Dealer 4 Style 214 20" X10" (FRONTS) for my x5d, and with this squared set up, the rears still look like they can use 25mm spacers and alittle bit funny with out them. Tires are NOKIAN Hakk's 275/40/20's. With 19's the X5 will look even worse with the black plastic fender flares...and using SPACERS may or may not be a pain every Spring when they get "corroded" /stuck on..
If I was going to do this again, I may buy just 2 new fronts & 2tpms for those wheels and mount these in the rear with the new snows while using my original front wheels with the orig TPMS in the front and just change the front tires every fall and spring.
In comparison, the wider snows are slightly worse than 18X8" 255/55 18" HAKsnow tires I used on my old VW TOUAREG.... Hope this helps....
I could post pictures after Thanksgiving or the first week in Dec.....
