2017 X5 35d
Hello guys,
Just picked up a 2017 x5 35d to the family along side with my f10 M5. I'm enjoying the much improved fuel economy compared to my M5. However, I hated the 451 style wheels that came with the car. I can get some pretty good deals on Niche road wheels. Since I never done any wheel mod before, I got a couple questions to ask. I am not planning to get new rubber for those wheels. I am looking at 20X10 Et 40 and 20x10.5 ET35 (I am aware the current 451 is 20x11 in the rear, Niche doesnt offer 20x11 in the styles i wanted). I am wondering if the 10.5 rear would be too less for the 315 tires that came with the car. Would I need to purchase a narrower tire, ie., 305 35 20. If so, would this alter the speedo on the car? Thanks in advance.

Correct, the 451 specs are:
FRONT - 20x10 ET40 - 275/40 R20 REAR - 20x11 ET37 - 315/35 R20 The fronts you're looking at from Niche would be a direct pairing. The rears are 1/2" narrower with a smaller offset (2mm), which will tuck the wheel further under the vehicle. For a 315 on a 10.5" rim, you should be ok, you're just going to have a little more tire (less of a squared off look). Also, make sure that the wheels you're looking at are rated for the weight of this vehicle.

Surprised you don't like them ! I have a luxury line with the standard 19's but I always preferred the 451's. I think they look great with your color.
Congrats on your purchase. My wife averages 8.7L / 100km mixed driving in comfort mode. She loves it |
