...and some more new pictures....
I changed to bigger wheels with smaller offset. Wheels are 19x8,5 et 35 and made by Rondell. Tire size is 245/35. I can confirm that this setup works well under Xi even somebody has said in this forum that Xdrive wont accept smaller et than 40. Outer side of tire is now 18mm wider compared to original setup, but no rubbing issues (at least so far).

Great looking wheels! Rondell can make wheels

I think that Rondel wheels are not only good looking, but also really good value for money. First I looked for different BBS models, but I'm happy that I found new Rondell models. Maybe they are not par with BBS, but enough good for me. I found out that Rondell makes lot of OEM wheels for example for VW and that is good signal about they quality control. Also my tire shop gave positive comment about their quality. Only little weight were needed for balancing.
