20 is too much in my opinion, they will possibly fit, (x1 wheel wells are huge) but you will put extra stress on the bearings and in my opinion they will stick out way too far. The most you should go down from 34 is to 29 or 30 but on an 8 inch wheel only.

BMW 3 series wheels for an e90 series will work, but check the offsets. E46 wheels are too much offset the other way at around 45mm ET, they will hit the suspension struts on the inside.
