Hi! Just ordered new rims for my BMW 420i xdrive 2015. Went to the tyre shop and he told me the rims is to wide and could affect xdrive system. Can i get some advice what should i do to get best fitment to not damage my car and Xdrive system? It’s possible to cancel order, but i can’t find any other rims that is perfect match.

Rims what i ordered is
19x8.5 ET40
19x9.5 ET45

Is it possible to somehow match them not to damage xdrive system and drive smoothly? Should i need also some spacers?

Thank you!

A perfect match is whatever sizes were available as OEM.

Those rims aren't too wide, I have almost the identical size, but only in 18 inch. My tires are 235/45 18 front and 265/40 18 rear, but my car isn't lowered. Mine fit like a glove. Hint: it's not the width of the rims if you have the correct offset, it is the tires, make sure you plug tire measurements into a tire calculator and make sure you are within a certain percent rolling resistance difference between each other for xDrive. I forget exactly what the difference is but you can do a search on the forum and the answer will pop up. I have xDrive as well and the sizes that I previously mentioned worked out perfectly.
