Snow Wheels and Tire question for X5M

[marblesyrup]

Guys,

We're having a cold winter and I think it's time to get dedicated wheels and tires for snow.

I see that the winter wheel package from BMW was the style 298 wheel but I can't find out much more than that.

Can I get any 19 inch wheels that would fit any E70? Can I go for a square setup or should I keep it staggered?

Also, if I upgrade to the F85 rotors at some point (as per another recent thread - they look awesome), will they fit underneath 19" rims?

Thanks in advance

I'm running style 300's with Pirelli Ice & Snow - 20" Staggered. No issues thus far, but I haven't been up to the mountains yet. I was tooling around in the 10" of snow we got the Tuesday, and it drove fine.

For me, I wouldn't want to give up anything by going to 19's for 5 months of the year.
