17" rims on X35i

Sorry if this topic was already covered but couldn't find it.

From other searches, it appears that the standard 17" rims will work on X1's with the N20, but unsure about X1's with the N55. (because of the different front brake calipers).

Basically, I'm looking for winter tires and rims for my 35i.
What do you recommend?
RFT's or not.

Same 17" comes on both the 28i and the 35i

Yes, I have a set of 17" wheels with Dunlop Winter Sport M3 tires.
They work great on the 35i - the extra sidewall of the 225/50R17 helps.

Grovsnus, have you driven an X1 with 18" with winters?

An X1 with 18" WS, no.
Based on my experience with a Saab with two different wheel sizes, I deliberately chose to go down to 17" for winter tires.
They also leave room for a fine mesh snow chain, if needs must.
