So I love the design of these VMR V703s, 18x9.5 et+22 but I can't make up my mind on a tire fitment because of xdrive and what tires I can fit on that wheel setup without adding any spacers or damaging my car haha. Someone have any advice? I was thinking of like 265s in the rear as well. Thank you!

I have 275s on the rear of my x drive but it's a lci so the offset is different.

You can go staggered on an x drive as long as the circumference of the rear and front tires are within 1% of each other. This will keep the x drive system happy. Lots of tires calculators online to confirm your within those specs.

I suggest finding wheels where spacers are not needed. Its hard on the wheel bearings to push the rims outwards with spacers.

I assume from the calculators a 275 in the rear with 245s up front would fit so I think I'd probably go with that set up because apparently pre-lcis have more spacer in the fenders, stock suspension too. Thank you

I have a 2010 xi.

I run staggered 19s.
235 35 19 fronts
275 30 19 rears

Pretty low on ST coilovers. I can't remember my offsets but it's in the 30s. Fitment it perfect with zero rubbing. Check out avant-garde wheels too. I love mine.
