Rim size for X3

[scottcan]

Can someone provide me with the llug pattern and offset for rims for my 2004X3 w/sports pack. Need a set of rims for snow tires. I understand the correct snow tire size is 235/55-17?

Thanks,

Larry

The tire size is correct.. I believe the lug pattern on all BMW wheels is 5 X 120... Not sure about the offsets.. Tirerack probably has a wheel that they will guarantee to fit.. You could probably use anything from 17 X 7 to 17 X 8.. If you can find a set of used factory wheels off a stock X3, those would be best..

pretty much anything that will fit an E46 will fit an X3

Some the old X5 17" rims work on the X3. Same lug pattern offset (within a few mm) and bore

5x120 lugs 17 x 8 ET46 offset. 235/55-17 is correct tire size. I could not find any aftermarket wheels with the correct offset, they all seemed to be ET40, which everyone told me would be fine- and it probably would be. But having had several bad experiences with afermarket wheels, I wanted to take no risks. I ended up buying the 112 style wheels with Dunlop Wintersport package from the dealer. MSRP is $450 each but I paid $425 each. Cheapest package from tirerack with the wintersport was $310 each. So for less than $500 total I know I got an exact fit.

$425 each for tire and wheel? So, $1700 total? If so, not bad for a brand new factory set-up.
