Um....no deep dish rims work. You need higher offsets. Try searching....topic discussed ad nauseum.

I tried search. But iam sure people have done this. They make deep wheels with high offsets just no sure on which ones thats my question.
Decide on the "look" you're going for. I did CSLs for mine. My preference is for the 'classic' BMW look.

Check out DPE, HRE, Vossen, Klassen and so forth - basically, you'll get those rims made to your specs, so they can theoretically have any offset and any lip you want. We've got quite a few vendors on the forum, who offer great deals on either.

Nothing looks better than a 5-spoke wheel on a XI. Nothing!!
