Miro 368's 35front/32rear?
I can also get V710's in 35 front/33 rear.
The low rear offsets make me a little nervous though, I dont want t poke, just be flush with the fender. Dont want to end up rubbing. The car will remain factory height for this year.

I'd do ET35 front and ET40 rear on the 8.5" and 9.5" rims, front to back, if you can get some in these offsets...no rubbing!

I may try lurking in the classifieds for awhile and see if something pops up for a good deal. Havign an XI sure limits ones options though

How are you going to get 128's to fit your xi? 
They are for RWD....do you mean 135's?
They are for RWD....do you mean 135's?I've purchased as set of X3 19" 128's which I am going to put on in April.
The fronts are 8.5x19 et 46, which I plan on mounting with a spacer, probably 10mm. They will extend out 13mm over stock. Tires will be 245-35-19
The rears are 9 x19 et 51 ( yes 9.5 would be better, but 124's are 9" rears), which I will also use a spacers just for looks, maybe 15mm. These will extend out 19mm over stock. Tires will be 275-20-19
Both the e60 and X3 have the same centerbore, 72.6mm. As far as I can tell there is no reason why any of the X3 wheels shouldn't work.
I'm still kind of new around here. Has anyone tried this?

I've decided to go with the CSL style. I'm just trying to figure out if the new 19x10 rear wheels will be available for my XI model. I also want to wait until they are available in HyperBlack.

I have CSL reps 9.5" et 20 all round with a 5mm spacer in the front to stop them rubbing the strut. No spacers yet in the read and standard ride height

Excellent...I almost wish I had tried this setup on my old xi. How much are you paying? I found them online for $419/wheel. Can't wait to see pics.

The X3 128's are around $380 from Gary. I worked them into the deal for my car and paid cost.They are in boxes waiting for the calender to read April 10. I need to figure out the perfect spacer sizes to get them just right.
I know of a used set out there in need of refinishing, that all in would be less around $1000, should some one else want to give it a go.
DrLev, having read you posts, and your obsession with ET's and the like, I thought that you might like this idea.
I will certainly post pics when snow season finally ends.
