I've always mounted them in my garage. If there's anything wobbly or funny about the way it drives, that's when I take it in for an alignment.

They will store them in bags on site for me. Not sure that is standard practice but I grew up with the owner of the dealership. Maybe that is why they offered to store for me. Convenient.

Winter wheels fit well and look pretty good.

Thanks. BTW - off topic of this thread but had a software update and hard reset. Now the connected features app work.

I preordered the black M winter wheels 20 inch. Will post a picture on the car when it arrives this week at dealership. The wheels are already there, they have a matte black finish, seem nice. Not orbit grey metallic like my x5m wheels.

Thanks for the pics, mine get here Monday. Did the dealership have to do any alignment or something after installation? Or was it just like doing a flat tire?

Nope. Just went right on. I did have to reset the tires in the system to 'winter'. But I think details of that were covered in an earlier post. Very simple to do.

Thanks, did the winter setting in idrive, did u set urs at 41 psi at the rear ones, 33 psi for front as idrive says?

MysticBlue · 12-24-2018, 04:38 PM

There would be no reason an alignment needs to be done after just changing tires.

Yes. Saved them as winter tires. Clicked the size as 275/45/20. And agreed to the recommended psi.

I had my tires switched to Pirelli Sottozero 3. So far, seems to work great with little change in the ride and appearance. These tires are 10MM skinnier front and rear, but otherwise the same measurements. According to a tire size calculator, this makes less than a 2% diameter change which is minimal.

I've seen these available on eBay, probably your best place to get them from once you know the oem size.

You asked me what size. And I replied with oem size. I never said they are oem center caps

Am I correct to notice that none of the tire options available for winter set would be RFT's? Any thoughts on this? I generally like the advantage of being able to keep going and get home (on a short trip) if I have a nail in my tire.

Jrunr · 12-26-2018, 11:21 PM

I think the 20” Blizzaks are RFTs but I have to check...
