New 20" wheels

They come staggered (20x9front 20x10rear) or i can get them 20x9 all or 20x10 all. The place says i should get the wheels with a 275/45/20 because its more tire but isnt it supposed to be 275/40 and not 275/45?

Isnt the bigger size going to mess with the mileage?

I like the wide lip on that wheel..............

I know mine are 275/40/20 on the front (20 x 9.5) and 315/35/20 on the rear (20 x 10.5) OEM Style 87.

I don't know what those wheels come in? What brand are they?

The bigger size tyre is going to mess up your rolling diametre!You will be riding 20mm up on oem tyres(235/65/17).It will also give you false speedo readings(2.7% error)and your car will feel slower accellerating. The BMW recommended front 20" tyre is in fact 275/40.Some of our members also ride fine on 295/40(only 7mm up on oem!).In any case do not fit the 275 tyre on a 10" wheel!

With a 20x9" wheel you should fit 275/40/20.You may also get away with fitting the 295/40/20!!The tyre size they want to sell you(275/45/20) is not advisable for the reasons I already described in my previous post!

Just some opinions, how do you all think those would look on an Alpine White X5?? Mine is a 2001 with black door handles, black trim, a dark windows.
