Hey all, so I’ve been searching a ton and finding all types of infos on wheels. I’ve read all 35 pages of the aftermarket wheel thread and really wanted to consolidate info on 22” wheel fitment on the G01 platform. Would love additional confirmed setups to compare as I look to place an order. I’ve read all 35 pages of the aftermarket wheel thread and really
Here’s some of what I’ve found:

Lowered: NO
Fronts: 22x9.5 +16 265/35/22
Rears: 22×11 +35 295/30/22
Issues: slight rub at full lock, hoping to resolve with lowering

Lowered: YES
Front: 22x9 +25
Rears: 22×10.5 +35
Issues: None

I’ve also read that the recommended tire size is 265/35/22 - 295/30/22 if staggered as to not screw with the XDrive system.

Help?

I’m just curious as to what part of the country you live in…it doesn’t show on the mobile forum site

The roads there must be maintained in epic condition for you to choose 22’s

Socal, Ventura to be exact. Car gets driven ~4k miles a year. There’s always a chance for issues, but the looks seem worth it.

This is from another thread, I was just taking screenshots earlier and copypasta. Very little info out there beyond a few threads with a few posts from what I could find.

[Oldguysrule]

Wheel diameter is 3/10" less than a 245/45/21 and I'm told that doesnt rub. If it would it would be on the spring plate as it's tight on top with stock 245/40/21.

Can you also post your offsets? That’ll help people a ton. Also, lowered or not?

As of now I think I’m sold on:
Fronts: 22x9.5 +16 — 265/35
Rear: 22x10.5 +30 — 295/30

Rear 11” sounds awesome, but 10.5 is also plenty wide.

Not completely sure of the offsets but I believe 32 up front and 35 in rear

Currently waiting. ~1 month left. Ordered:
22x9.5 et16
22x10.5 et30

Also have a set of Eibach springs that arrived today. Debating on self-install or not.

[Supa-Clean]

Finally installed.

22x9.5 et16 - 265/35
22x10.5 et30 - 295/30

At a complete full lock I’ll get some rubbing, but otherwise no issues and a nicely square setup

hi. im looking at some wheels. wondering if they will fit m40i

22x9 +28 fronts
Tire: 255/30/22

22x10.5 +38 rear
Tire: 295/25/22

thanks in advance

I’m looking at getting 22” Vossen HF5’s in satin bronze. 22x9.5” front and 22x10.5” rear. It doesn’t show what the offsets would be. I’m also going to be lowering 35-40mm on H&R springs.

Tyre package offered with the rims are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S XL front 265/35 ZR22 rears 285/30 ZR22. Now I don’t know if these are star rated tyres made for BMW which I’ve read can mess with the xdrive system if they aren’t and the rears seem to be slightly narrower than what your all fitting.

285 doesn’t work for the X drive as it’s at 2%

295 is at the 1% max suggested diameter difference f/r

305 (if it exists in a 30/22) is the best choice at 0.3%, but would fit better on a 11” wheel

Can you explain what you mean please by ‘doesn’t work for the xdrive.’
This is the tyre package offered by the company specifically for an X3M.

[Keefy]

Is it not the difference between the front and rear tyre widths has to be within 1% to be compliant with the xdrive system?

[Rottweiler]

It’s not the widths; it’s the diameter

Revs per mile etc

Input various f/r specs into that comparison tool and look at the percentage differences

X drives needs a number at 1% or less

My new set arriving is at 0.3% (265/40 fr and 305/35 rear)

From what i've read upon the purchasing of my new wheels, it is said that xdrive will compensate(slip) because the tires(front and rear) have rotational differences greater than 1%. Some reports that it will cause a jerky feeling on acceleration.

The company can offer whatever they want but does not necessarily mean it will work out in your vehicles favor.
