I'm not much for the blackout look but yours is looking pretty good
Are your 214's sticking out quite a bit w/o the fender flares? Hard to tell in the pic. One more thing, the OEM style 215's are 21" not 22" |

You can always run a wider spacer in the rear, this would give the appearance of a staggered setup.

They're very easy to install and will give her a wider and more aggressive(staggered) stance...you can buy them from ECS Tuning...I recommend the H&R 25mm on the rear and 15mm on the front

I'm saying you can use spacers to make the non-staggered winter setup look good with flares.

Update: Selling my 214 wheels/tires if anyone is interested.
Upgrading to 215 style 21" wheels. gloss black. Just purchased fender flares from e-bay. With the 215's having 325 rear tires I finally bit the bullet and got the flares. Hope these are legit, the reviews were solid. http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-13-BMW-X5...hWldZ7&vxp=mtr |

Dude they're more heavy, I went with Rohana RF1s being way lighter, weight is just another thing to consider esp with a diesel it made a big difference - I'm not affiliated with them, just wanted weight reduction and concativity
