But here's another question... Is there any reason I wouldn't want to have the same front/back tire sizes on the X5? The sets of style 215's look like they're all 20x10.5, haven't seen any sets of them in a staggered setup. I've always had staggered tires on my previous cars but this is my first SUV and my first AWD car.

I guess I shouldn't have used "full-size" I meant it isn't the same as the wheels on the car. Probably because I'm so used to my 4.8.

If you have an X with smaller, non-staggered wheels then maybe you do have the same wheel for a spare. In the 4.8 that's staggered, they don't.

OEM 215s are staggered. Replicas usually are not. Whether you go staggered or not is personal preference but the 4.8s were deigned to have staggered wheels.
