I am getting a hitch mounted spare tire holder for my 45e as I have been and will be doing some long trips to the mountains. I'm looking for a spare 20" wheel and tire for a 2021 X5. I am not concerned about the style. A steel wheel would work as long as it is full size - The tires are 275/45HR20's all round.

Which carrier are you buying? I've ordered the Trail Swing from Dirtcom. I'm waiting for them to ship it. I've found some good suppliers of refinished wheels for my spare. I'm trying to stay with my OEM 19" Style 734 wheels as I move from RFs to regular ATs I'm in San Marcos TX. I'll PM.

Thanks very much. Who was the rim supplier?

Allusedrims.com and autorimshop.com They both carried my Style 734 in stock. Just find your BMW Rim info and see what they have. Again, which hitch spare carrier are you getting?

Are you putting TPMS in your full size spare? If so, how will the monitoring system handle 5 signals?
Also, which spare carrier are you buying?
