Wheel and tire question

BostonMike · 03-02-2021, 05:22 PM

My wife just bought a (new to her ) 2018 X1 M Sport! Really nice car! Love it. She wants new wheels though. I have a set of BC Forged • Front 20x9.5 +25
Rear 20x11 +45

Will these fit on her car? She loves them, and I was going to give them to her if they will fit. I'm not super familiar with the X1 so I hope you guys can shed some light.

Why fit staggered wheels/tyres to a FWD-biased awd SUV? They'll likely increase the car's existing tendency to understeer and make it much less pleasant to drive.

I suppose you are correct

Hey BostonMIke.. you most likely will have the problem where your wheels are the classic BMW 5X120 but.. all these X1's and X2's use a 5X112 bolt pattern, so it won't fit. Otherwise.. I think the fronts might really stick out, the rears will probably be ok.

Ahhh. Thanks, rice_rocket88 I did not know they were 5x112. Good to know. She is looking for black wheels. Any recommendations?

Not really Mike.. Everyone has their preferences.. The 5x112 matches a lot of audi and mercedes wheels if it helps in terms of looking for aftermarket/used.

I really like TSW. They have tons of options at a good price: https://fitment.tsw.com/fit-details?...model=X1%20F48

IMO 20" is too much for the X1. I mean, it looks great, but the tyre will not have enough height for a SUV. Unless your streets are in excellent condition =).

Along with what ricerocket said about the bolt pattern... Perhaps, you can check the 5 series wheels from 2017-2020. I found out that they have the bolt pattern 5x112mm also. What I am not sure is the center bore. I assume they are 66.6mm too, but I was not able to find anything clear about it yet.

Just as example: https://www.hubcaphaven.com/c/639/bm...eels_rims.html

If you really want staggered wheels, these seem to fit more for a X1 with 20x8 front and 20x9 rear comparing to the 20x11 rear you mentioned. With a wheel width of 11", your tire should be at least 265, it seems excessive in my opinion.
