22" Wheels + tires - Will these fit?

Hey guys, I have done the research and I am ready to purchase a new set of wheels/tires for my 2006 X5.

I wanted to get thoughts on this setup, and also verify that everything will fit correctly.

Wheels:
22" Lexani LSS10
22x10 all around
5x120 bolt pattern
40mm offset
-possibly need HUB Centric rings

Tires:
295/30/22 All around


Any thoughts or suggestions? Not sure if a 40mm or 30mm offset would be best?

I appreciate it, thanks guys!

From a cursory glance, the offset is in the ballpark, the wheel bolt pattern is fine,
but a couple sites for that brand of wheel do not specifically say it will fit E53 X5...
maybe I missed the rec'd, but I see Lexus, et al.

22s, especially non-staggered look, are unique on an X5, but different strokes.
Not my pick.
I can't promise they will fit...YMMV.

Thanks, I am working with someone who has verified that they will indeed fit on the X5.

Would you recommend going staggard? I have the option of going 22x9 front, 22x10 in the rear, if so, what tire size(s) would you suggest?

Appreciate the help!

295/30/22 is way to wide for the front its gonna feel like ur driving a tank, ur gonna add 1.6"s to ur section width (the part of the tire that comes into contact with the road). I would definitely go staggered 9" front with a 265/40/22 and 10" rear with a 305/35/22 +40 offset all the way around. Those tire sizes have an identical rolling diameter although you will gain 1.4"s of overall tire diameter over ur stock setup. When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 62.9mph (101.3km/h): 4.8% faster, not a big deal. You will also enjoy an much needed gain (IMO 30 series tires don't have enough meat), in sidewall height for all those pot holes, u don't want to replace an lexani lip or wheel.
