Newbie Wheel & Tire Question

Have my X3M sitting on 265/40 ZR 21 in the back and 255/40 ZR 21 in the front Contis that it came with.
I am in the NE and coming to terms that I can need to get an AS tire.

Can I buy a used set of 20 inch rims with P Zeros 235/45 R20 on all 4.

Can my local mechanic mount them?

Thank you all very much

1) Yes, however 235's will be quite narrow, should consider 255's all around
2) Yes, just be sure you get TPMS sensors installed otherwise you'll have the tire light on constantly if you don't.

whatever rims you get, make sure that the bolt pattern fits and the rims clear the larger M calipers in the front. You can go with 21 all-season or winter tires on the same factory rims, just swap tires.

Hey- Its me again
I am enjoying my X3M but need to change the tires..

Would this work?
https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1777291

I have very basic automotive repair/maintenance experience but I have changed tires before from having flats.... Can I just take my 21'' of and put these on there? Is there anything I would have to do for the TPMS

Alternatively I was considering 4 New Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season 265/45R21 104T A/S All Season Tires from ebay for $600.

Would that work? 265s all around?
I would go to a tire shop for this and expect to pay about $100?
I am in the DMV area

THank you!

As far as your link with the 245s all around on 20", I wouldn't go less than 255 all around.

Your alternate approach with 265s all around might be feasible, but I'll let others chime in because 265/45 might be a bit much.
