I am in the process of ordering an X5 35i sport.

The 20 inch staggered wheel and tire package is my concern. Do those large wheels and tires make the X5 bounce and ride like an unrefined truck? I really am worried that those big cumbersome tires are going to have an adverse effect on the way the vehicle handles.

I would be purchasing a set of 19 X 9 inch rims with all weather tires for use in the winter. Are these going to look ridiculous with the flared fenders of the sport?

I want a smooth, refined ride. My dealer, also a very good friend of mine says I'm over thinking things. The sport set up is perfect so long as I have a winter wheel set up for the snow season.

I would greatly appreciate thoughts from those of you that are driving the sport set up every day.

Thanks!
