I am looking to get 19x8.5's that are flush with fenders front and rear. I know a 35mm offset will fit, but that seems a bit conservative for a lowered car. Does anybody know if VMR V710's with a 20mm offset will fit a Xi wagon. Any input is appreciated.

The et on xi touring wheels are 43. I have et 34 on the front of my xi and it is pretty flush. ET 20 would make the tire stick out of the wheelwell. It would not work.
If you have factory rims on your car then use a tape measure and measure out about 20mm from where your current wheel sits and that is where the outside of a wheel with et 20 would sit.

Thanks for the response. Sounds like a et35 is a lot safer fitment for the xi cars.

Best offsets for Xi is ET33-35 up front and ET35-38 in the rear. If you are running a staggered setup and lowering the car, I recommend making sure you won't rub on the inside as well. Google "offset calculator" if you haven't yet.
Here's a link to a thread where I've posted pix of my Xi with an ET20 wheel on - sticks out waaaaay too much, unfortunately.

I have offsets ET30 at front and ET18 at rear axle on my 530xd.
Rim dimensions 8,5x19". Car is lowered with H&R springs.
This seems to be the maximum for the X-Drive wagons.
