Wheel Offset??

[Silverarrows]

Will a 5 series offset of 20mm fit on a 2005 X5?
I know it's going to come out, but I don't mind the aggressive look.



Can you guyz help me with that?

The wheels are 20x8.5fr, and 20x10r.

You're ok to run those.

Nice wheels ... probably will want to go with 20mm - 30 mm spacers in the back. You might want to consider front/rear flares if you want to retain the aggressiveness yet look smoother.

Thank's!

Do you think style 87s are still a better choice than those?

While I agree with Tom's answer in general it really comes down to YOUR preference and what you're trying to accomplish. It's all about what YOU like not what others prefer. For pure performance reasons, definitely the 87s. If you want your X to be different, and you're willing to compromise on other things like performance, then those are nice wheels.

For example, I love 87s and may switch to them in the future and use my M reps as winter wheels. However, I just love the M style wheels too much to switch right now.

Don't sweat it too much. You're X will look great, whatever decision YOU make.

(Comparing to 4.6iS style 87 wheel offsets)

With +20 offset and 8.5" wide in front, the wheel will stick out towards the fender 12mm more than stock. Just barely out of the fenders with no front flares. 255/40/20

With +20 offset and 10" wide in rear, the wheel will stick out towards the fender 4mm more than stock. If you have rear flares, You might want a 25mm spacer instead of the usual 30mm spacer. 295/35/20

hope that helps.

(Also, if you're looking for style 87's, I have a couple MINT ones for sale.) /shameless plug
