Wheel fitment info needed

[MichelDionne]

Hi,

Newbie here, with just little enough knowledge to be dangerous so looking for help... I looked around and found many similar questions but no definite answer (apologies if I missed it) so I'll ask again

Setup is 2017 X6 with 20" option
Tires 275 40R20 and 315 35R20

I'm looking for new wheels for a cheap winter setup, and have found the Niche Vosso M203. Fronts are the same spec as stock Bimmer (20x10 Offset 40), but rears are 20x11 with a 25 offset rather than the 35 for the stock wheels.

Guess that means I'd be poking out by an extra 10mm from the stock setup?

Question is... is that ok? It looks like it wouldn't make a huge difference, but hoping that one of you guys with more experience can let me know.

Are there other issues that I should take into consideration?

Thanks

Many people here add spacers to stock wheels on the X5's, to make them look more flush. 10mm won't cause any issues with driveline, and I believe it will fit, not poke out on the X6 too.

Only thing I would be concerned with is spray from wider wheels. A few people I know, prefer to have the winter wheels tucked in, due to salt and sand being spread on the roads, which in turn will "spray" from wheels onto body.

Now, I don't have any experience with the X6 when it comes to ET's, but just look at your current set up, and if plus 10mm won't make tires stick out past the body/fender, you will be fine.

Easy way to test, is to get a yardstick, cut down slightly shorter than height of wheel opening, and hold it vertical against the side of stock tire, see where it lines up compared to the body/fender. This will give you an idea of how much wider you can go, without poking out. (FYI, If you lower the car, you need to measure it again)
Remember, different tires can make a small difference too.

btw:
If you get the set up with ET25 rear wheels, they might just make you want to add a set of 10mm spacers to your stock set up, if stock looks sunken in, and you like the flush look better..

Thanks for the info
I can see from the link previously posted that it seems to fit (but then it doesn't really tell you if it doesn't fit either.)

I live in a region that really rarely gets snow, but will use it occasionally to go skiing and where I need the winters to be legal, hence the setup. Guess I'll just hose it down before I put it in the garage if it's an issue.

The setup with 21's is a 325 tire with the same offset, so I'm guessing at most I'd be poking out 5mm more than if I has 21s on... so should be fine.

Thanks again
