As of right now, BMW does not show a winter wheel tire combo for the X7, but for the new X5 they have a few including 18", 20" as well as one with General all Terrain tires. The x5 tire height is one profile size shorter, e.g. if it's a 21", its 40 series, while the x7 is 45 series.
My recommendation for winters for the X7 would be to look for a used set of 20" Mercedes wheels with a width of around 8.5" and maybe a 275/50/20 tire.
20 wheels are available as the standard for the x7 for markets outside of North America.
