Wheelset 20 x 10 Square set up??

[Flyer1234]

Has anyone used 20x10 ET40 wheels and 275/40 R 20 tires as a Square set up on the X5 without the fender flares? If so, is the handling safe compared to the staggered set up? Do the two rear wheels look too depressed from the wheel arch wall?

Pls kindly advise.
thanx

IMHO, it should look much better than 19" square setup and you shouldn't have any issues.
I am not sure I've ever seen a car like this.
M Sport package with step bars - yes, but not an Luxury line with 20" square setup.
if you do it - please post lots of pics.

Thanx. I will be sure to post some pictures. I plan to put on 275/45/R20 all around.

Lower offset in the rear will give you a more staggered look.

I'm interested in doing this too. I really like the look of 20s and don't want to keep spending because of reduced tread life with staggered setup. I plan to order x5 with 20s and when the time comes to replace the tyre, I'll replace either front or rear wheels to match the other.

Any thoughts/idea on this ?

I doubt you can fit 315/35/20 wheels in front, so the only option would be to find another 2 front wheels and swap them with rears.

Yes, I thought so too. I'd look for another set of 20s when my X5 is here in 2 weeks ?
