Check the front wheel arch clearance, and how far out the wheel sits (you might have an issue with one of the rules about tyre tread beyond the limit of the arch) and if the inner face fouls during turning. I remember a discussion in here many moons ago about this and thought that there was an issue with the wider rim hitting something inside the arch when turning. Might be worth a search on here or maybe Xoutpost?

I run 10" up front with 295 tyres and 10mm hubcentric spacers plus its been lowered and have no rubbing issues. Just to be clear they are 22" wheels.

I am currently running with 25mm hubcentric spacers to the rear so was thinking if i add 10js to the front i get an extra inch to match the rear , i guess once i have done my refurb i can dummy fit wides all round see what issues i may or may not have , not really a lover of 22s on a x5 think they make it look out of proportion but each to there own i guess thats the joy of modding cars .
