87 style wheel question.
 
Im thinking of buying the 87 style 20" wheels for my 2001 X5. My question is can i put just 20x9.5 on all four tires or should i keep them staggered by putting two 20x9.5 and two 20x10.5? Im not sure if this will throw anything off with the aligment or suspension etc.

thanks in advance for your feedback.

you should keep them staggered that make the X5 look meaner and better handling, and you don't need nor worry about throwing anything off with the aligment.

most setup i've read is staggered for beter handling. too wide in front makes it hard handling in turns.
bigfish is thinking of upgrade, he said he's got 10.5 all fours, about to send him pm if he will partly sell like set of 2.

yeah definately get the staggered setup. You get better handling, and an aggressive look. It will not cause any problems, as the factory setup is also staggered.
