Staggered M355 style wheels (not Avant Garde). Tires are Hankook Ventus Evo V12.
19x8.5 front ET 37, 245/40/19
19x9.5 rear ET 33, 275/35/19

Austin,

I have 19x8.5 ET30's coming, do you think I can run the 245/40's up front (in back they will fit)? I'm worried that your offset of 37 is providing you the clearance for turning whereas my more aggressive offset of 30 may impact that?
James,
The wheel size you ordered is going to protrude or perfectly match the outer edge of the body panel.
37 ET up front for us has about 5mm of tuck.
However, the wheels that we both have seem custom for for the X1. Aggressive but almost M-Sport quality for and finish and overall appearance.

If you're serious about and it's a possibility, you can buy the rim and tire package that we both have used and know works great and looks as you can see in the pics.

If it's something that is still an option and what you think would be good in the long run, do it!!

You won't like the protruding front ET... It'll look tacky (in my opinion) and make it obvious that the wheel fitment is not quite right. The X1 body panels up front aren't flattering in that situation, however out back you could probably add spacers with the 8.5... Just my personal opinion.

If interested (anyone for that matter), Audio City in La Puente is listed on google- call and ask for Fabricio and tell him his buddy Austin with the BMW's sent you. You have pics to send him from the forums to make sure he knows the wheel, but I have a feeling he will know. And tire wise I can only comment on my setup. It works perfectly.

I would go with Hankook V12, Continental DWS or DW, or Michelin Pilot SS tires in order of cheapest to most expensive. But if you have snow to deal with, I have no idea
