I have coilovers in my possession. The shop I took them to said they weren't the right ones and couldn't install them. I verified and they are correct. Gotta find a shop who knows what they are doing. This shop was all JDM. Should have been my first sign.

A couple of links to calculate wheels & tires:
And then several threads across the forum for 20" wheels:

I'm so excited to share with you guys my new setup!
Coming from 18" wheels with RFT tires, it was a HUGE change. Not only improve the look that now is totally flush; the grip is INSANE! And also the tires have a layer of sound insulation on the inside that reduces the noise, improving the ride quality.

Thanks! I feel the same; 20" is too much for me since I use the car with my family.

Anyway, I really like the look of your X1! =) Those black wheels with white X1 make a great contrast.

I fitted a 255/40r19 tire on a 19x8.5" et42 wheel, and it worked like a charm. It gave a flush look I wanted without any rubbing or problem, considering that I have Eibach lowering springs. Keep in mind that I use summer tires since we donīt have snow around here. It's hard to say a recommendation since I donīt know the offset of your wheels, but you could definitely go for a 245/40r19 tire with that wheels if you want them wider. See attached picture for a comparison taken from https://tiresize.com/calculator/. Several guys here use that setup. Please, also take a look at this thread: https://f48.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...1729957&page=4. I was also looking for recommendations about tires width, and it was a good discussion.

Now you got me super curious, I emailed Tire rack about this tire size being quite narrow. Lets see what happens :P

So, that's why it seems weird to me TireRack recommended a 225/45 tire for a 19x8.5" wheel. I believe the tire stretches too much to cover the entire wheel. So, I would use a minimum tire of 235 width for that wheel, considering this information: https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/c...rim-size-chart. But again, I'm a big fan of the wider look; that's why I chose a 255 tire. Let's wait and see what they say. Probably something related to BMW approval or recommendation .
