E83 Wheel/Tire size

[dhimme]

A bit frustrated with tire availability for my 07 X3 M, especially winter or at least good A/S tires. Thinking best option is to go to 18" wheels for winter. Question is, do I need to stick with same staggered width & offset as original 19" wheels? Thanks

No, you can get a regular set of 18' wheels. Try tire rack or whoever has the best price.

I have a number of wheel and tire options in the 18" for the vehicle. The 18" is going to be better for the winter and they will be less susceptible to damage. They also cost less.
If I can help let me know.
