So I am back in a x7m50i (formerly known as dmanb2b ). It's been a minute and the wheels threads with actual specs are sparse in this forum. Either that or my search skills now suck. Regardless, I teamed up with Andrew over at ORT Motorsports and we've built approximately 60 sets of custom forged wheels. I am on my 2nd set. but it's time for me to order a set for the x7. The plan is to drop down from the 22" setup to a 21" square set.

What are folks running here (non-oem) in terms of wheel widths and offset? The specs are fully customizable so I am looking for advice for flush fitment, but not something the mrs will complain about rubbing.

PFA...513m wheel style I am strongly considering building

I've been waffling on new wheels myself on the winter set, but current plan is to keep it safe and go OEM specs (9.5" width, +36 ET). I know a few folks have put spacers on so you should be good to go wider/more offset if you wanted to, looks like 12.5mm front and 15mm rears.

Thank you! Yup I'm just seeing that now on a few posts. Looks like most go for the 12/15mm combo. I may just split the difference and add 12-13mm to the stock specs and call it a day since I want to be able to rotate a square set-up.

I am heavily considering the VREDESTEIN QUATRAC PRO+ so I don't have to bother with a winter set and I almost always run winter summer wheels. Also considering the below wheel design, it may be a bit more fitting for an SUV

Im hoping to run a 20in squared setup in winter. I have some 285/50/r20s leftover from my trackhawk. Ive seen they fit over the msport brakes with a 35 offset

Should work on a 9.5" wide wheel
