I have a friend trying to sell me a set of 24" Vossens for a smoking deal. I haven't seen any posts regarding wheels larger than 23". What are your thoughts on this set up for 2022 X7 M50i?

Would be interesting, but would also need to see how low the tire profile needs to be. The ride quality is going to significantly be different. Also, the load index for the tire would also need to be considered, since this vehicle is quite heavy.

No way. 24”ers looks like a wagon wheel. 23” is already playing with fire and one medium size pothole away from disaster.

The rim specs would be really important or the tires may rub (wheel width/offset and tire size)

Bigger does not equal better.
If all you want is a car that looks cool, only for car shows, then yes, 24" wheels might be for you. But if you want to actually use the car on public roads daily, then I would not go larger than OEM. In this case, OEM is 23" on the XB7. But Alpina assumes if you can afford their mods, then you can afford multiple cars and repair costs.

I would say 24's not only look wrong, but tire choice would be a nightmare. And in the coming years, tires (choices) may become more limited with all of the supply chain issues we are having. And I believe the lower the profile, the higher the wear = $$$. If the replacement tires cost more and are harder to get, you may be riding on worn tires most of the time.

the wheels are fine in 22.

24? no.

This looks genuinely stupid and hideous. 23s are already a stretch, 24s is just making absolutely sure that everybody knows the driver has no taste.

I think with the right wheels, 24" could look good. Those 24" wheels on that X7 would not look good in any size.

I do think 24s are a bit too big but here is a x7 with 24s on it

I've been contemplating trying to up size to 23s but one thing I noticed is that it's an odd size and not very many tire options which makes tires very pricey

I agree that it is not perfect for X7, just to show how it looks.

P.S. It is not my car, otherwise fisrt pothole will be mine

That's the issue right. With 23 wheels you're already asking for trouble on lot potholes. How are you even able to use the car in everyday traffic on 24s

Only as a static show car. Thats all.

Even with 22s I driving very carefully and can not imagine 24s. BTW that car is in Russia and probably you can imagine their road quality outside of big cities.

I think that setup looks amazing. Would I do it though? Nope.

This actually looks amazing. If you live in a Southern climate where the roads are better, you can absolutely do this. If not, no chance.

It doesn't look bad at load level. Looks really aggressive overall. But I am wondering what it looks like at comfort or sport mode. Seems like it potentially could look off with those skinny tires and wheel gap. If you go to 23s I think you still have decent amount of sidewall.

[rslong50]

We all seem to share the same concerns! Hard pass for me as well. Thank you all for your responses!

[Staszek]

I say no, but to each his own, the ride will be awful, 22's were pushing it for me lol.

[DravitX7]

That actually looks pretty badass! I wouldn’t go that route for a daily driver, but for a third or fourth vehicle, why not...looks pretty tough. All depends on the wheels, tho. The wrong wheels will look hideous! The right ones, tho...amazing!

[mjr24]

Unless they keep spinning when you stop....I wouldn't see the point.
