Yes ... what diameter you have in mind 17", 18", 19" or 20" etc ... I have 8.5"x19" up front on my 525xi ...
Depending on the offset you can even fit 9" wide up front.

8.5" will fit just fine! Just get the offsets correct. Read the other threads about Xi fitment and you will be good.

18" I want to put 8 1/2" carbon black Phat Cat BBS Rep rims with a 35 offset all around with the stock tire setup. Its for a Titanium silver E60 with dark tinted windows already in place.Its alot out of the norm for a 58 year BMW nut but its different.
