Looking at some Pirelli winter tires but I want to get a set of dedicated winter rims. What size rim do you guys recommend for winter?

Do you know if a 7.5Jx17 ET37 rim would fit? I’m unsure about how the offset works.

The smaller the number for offset the more it sticks out

Use this as a calculator:

https://www.willtheyfit.com.
If you have x-drive you want to make sure the speedo error on this website is below 2%

The stock specs on the front wheels of a staggered setup are 18 x 7.5 +45 offset. Your set up of +37 on a 7.5" wide wheel should fit fine. They will stick out 8mm more on the same width. Just make sure the wheel will clear the brakes if you have the m-sport brakes
