spacer width should be based on your offset, i would recomend the following before purchasing spacers, once you have your wheels mounted , borrow or purchase a micrometer and from there you can figure out how many milimeters you will need. i personally have a 10mm spacer and my car is now rubbing in the back.
although i have 19x10 in the rear. please refer to the following thread which contains quite a bit of info from Xi owners such as V, myself etc

https://5series.net/forums/topic/951...nsions-for-xi/

also, member JeRZee XiE60 is selling his 20 inch wheels off his Xi for a good price.
