Just bought it, 30k on the clock fully loaded. Black on black.
My first mod OEM 19's style 63... I think.
255 front 285 rear

Those wheels look better than expected on the X3, Give it a more beefy look!

I wasnt sure about the wheels either... until I saw them mounted on the X3, the rear wheels look sooooo nice

HMMMMmmm... wonder what style 87's would look like on an X3?

Aren't those 87's on your X5? Those are the ones I'd like to get for my X3 but wonder about the speedo error it might cause (as you mentioned). I know of a place where I can get replica 87's that are the correct size for the X3 but they wouldn't fill the wheel wells up any more than what I have now.


Hmmmph... what to do...

Wow...Nice! It really does a nice job of filling those huge fenderwell openings on the X3. And surprisingly, the size, offset and appearance of those wheels look great - certainly better than I would have imagined.

I considered mounting X5-spec wheels on my X3. I was concerned about rubbing. Do you have any interference with suspension/inner fenders/etc? Having owned (and just recently traded) an '07 X3, one of my biggest issues with it was the weenie-sized OEM wheels and tires that come on it. Even in the plus-sized 19" staggered OEM X3 wheels, they still look significantly undersized. The X5 fitment looks like it fully addresses that issue.

One question - Shouldn't this post be in the E83 X3 forum instead of the E53 forum?

No rubbing issues whatsoever
