Want 22" but what freakin offset?

[heuer21]

I have a 2003 X5 4.4i with Premium, Cold Weather, and Sport packages.

I would like to know about 22" wheel fitment. I see that people are doing it but I can never find out what offset or any real details.
Here is what I am looking at buying:

Bayern Multi Wheels
22x9.5 with 35 offset. Front
22x11 with 25 offset. Rear

So basically I would like to know if these would fit. or any information about offset and wheel fitment.
Thanks

I'm not sure what offset you need but I hope the roads are really smooth where you live... my 20" wheels ride hard enough for me and my passengers!

the roads here now arent very good because of the winter. But once the pot holes have been fixed they are generally pretty smooth. I am used to bumpiness anyways. Luckily Indiana and Indianapolis are still in the black. Unlike most of the states around the US, we have money to fix things lol.

I would love some info on offset though lol.

The fronts will be fine. The rears will be aggressive. But will work as long as your vehicle is not lowered. What tire size are you planning on running?

Do you have front or rear flares added?

Without front flares, 9.5" +35ET is perfect.
Without rear flares, 11.0" +25ET will sit ever so slightly outside of the fender, but will look good IMHO. If rear fitment is too aggressive, this could always be solved by adding the rear flares and ~15mm spacers, but I *think* that you should be happy with it.

now thats what I want to here! I am glad to know they will fit. I want to eliminate as much gap as i could, where are the fender flares that you are talking about? I have a plastic molding that goes around the edges of my fenders, could that be what you are talking about?

Thanks for your help
