Winter tires installed on original 22' wheels. This is what BMW recommended, then installed for me. It drops the tires from 275/40/22 to 275/35/22 in the front, and 315/35/22 to 315/30/22 in the back.
If you shop those new sizes on tire rack they will come up. Here's the back tires. Pirelli Scorpion Winters https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...omCompare1=yes |

I debated getting new wheels as well. Almost went with the 21's before they found these for me. It's $100 to switch them out, or $200 per year. Since the other wheels were over $2,000, this seemed like a better way to go - and I get to keep my 22's on. Also I did the powder coated wheels to match my black sapphire with extended shadowline. It was a pity since the cerium grey wheels were so nice looking, but I just felt like my all black X7 needed black wheels. Last edited by Jefflikescars; 11-09-2019 at 01:37 PM.. |

They look good, very sharp for winters. Is that Carbon Black? I have the same color.
Smack some tire shine on those!! Nice look, you're changing my mind! I wonder if I could install these and keep them on during the summer as well. Last edited by CruiseControl; 11-09-2019 at 02:06 PM.. |

I just ordered a set from Discount Tire with the 20s and Blizzak 285/50R20s mentioned above. Of note, some of the Drag brand models of wheels they sell have a removable center cap that can be replaced with an older BMW one.
Will post pics next week. I ordered these: https://cdn.discounttire.com/sys-mas..._20_medium.png |

Jeff/Pipe- Those both look great. Was ordering 21" this week, but reconsidering now.
Jeff- how long did the powder coat process take? I'm being told 4-5 days. Seems long. |

I went with 19" wheels/tires. 275/55-19 blizzacks. The wheels fit over the brakes just fine. Most of you guys wont like the look, because I don't either. Lol. But, we live in the mountains and travel to rough areas, so the extra sidewall won't hurt. Big change from my 22's though. Will post some pics when I get them all mounted, I only test fitted one of them.
