20 inches for X5
Is 20” too small for this generation? I ordered my 50i with 20” M sport wheels, but I’m not sure if I should get a set of 21”. I live in Chicago btw.

Thank you! But I’m not sure about what you mean that it’s too busy for G05, sorry. I don’t know that much about the run flat tire either. I chose 20 with all season tires mainly because I live in a very cold place.

I have scratched up 21 on f15 and wished I got 20s so getting 21 on g05. If you want the equivalent of 20 in f15 u need to get 21.

I’ve seen others say that but I don’t get it. The 20 on the G05 I’ve ordered wlll actually stand almost an inch taller than the 20 on my F15 because of the higher sidewall. 45 instead of 40. And the new X5 isn’t THAT much bigger than the old one, so what am I missing? Of course that’s tire, not wheel, but Pics of the new Msport model with the 20s look just fine to me. |

Add to that, a big part of what makes it looks sporty and aggressions is the rear tire width when looking from the rear and the g05 has narrower tires than f15 (I don't know why).

I thought you guys were just assuming that since none of you had actually seen a G05 in person. Those who now have seem to think it doesn’t look much if any bigger than the F15, so that’s why I don’t understand the logic that 20s look fine on one but not the other. Anyway, to each his own. |

Personally, I really like the standard 20 M Sport wheels which minds me of the 21" Individual 726 wheels available on the X3.
If you're going for the "stance look" - upgrade but there's nothing wrong with the stock 20" wheels especially if you want all-season tires. Not everyone has the storage space or wants to swap out tires or wheel sets for the winter. In the end you're driving it.
