Vehicle: 2011 X5, 5.0, Sport Pac
Wheels: 20" Y-Spoke style 336 (10JX20)40mm IS front & (11JX20)37mm IS rear

I want to run the front wheels (PN 36-11-6-788-010) with 40mm offset on all 4 corners for winter. Other than looks(I would no longer be able to make fun of the skinny tire boys), can anybody (who knows) think of any issues.

315/35/20 winter tires are too hard to come by....Yea, Yea, Yea...I know why!

Ya'll get ta work on my problem, cause I'm to lazy to research last years threads!

Good Talk....

I'm wondering the same thing. How do I get the 19 s to not look stupid with the fender flares? We are only talking an inch or so.

As far as width & offset I'm pretty sure it's just looks that's the issue. Were not talking an X6, so center bore should not be an problem.

Found a website, don't know how accurate it is, but check it out

For my 20's, it shows that I would gain 10mm on the inner clearance between strut and wheel, & loose 16mm from outside of fender flare to rim.

I know I could make up for the outside loss with a 15mm spacer, but I'm not sure how keen I am about adding a rear spacer. I would probably just suck it up and take the hit on looks for a few months a year.

Mark my word, give it 2 more months and there will be a winter tire setup thread with 3 pages of feedback.
