Q: If you order the car with the sports package, the wheels are increased to 21’. Does this mean that sports brakes are not compatible with 20’ wheels?

BMW iX Wheel Options
The iX will have 3 different wheel sizes to choose from:
The Air Performance Wheels are made of an aluminum base wheel with customized inserts between the spokes that gives them a flat design, especially on the outside of the wheel, resulting in far smoother airflow. They weigh around 15 per cent less than conventional light-alloy wheels. Range is increased by as much as 9 miles (WLTP measurement) courtesy of the Air Performance Wheels.
- 20 inches (standard)
- 21 inches
- 22 inches

Welcome to the forum @IXRoar! Are you ordering the xDrive40 or xDrive50? There might be a slight size difference for brakes between the two.Q: If you order the car with the sports package, the wheels are increased to 21’. Does this mean that sports brakes are not compatible with 20’ wheels?
Hi thx, and great to have a forum. I have ordered the xDrive40 with sports package and 21 wheels. But need an extra set for the winter and are considering 20 for that purpose!Welcome to the forum @IXRoar! Are you ordering the xDrive40 or xDrive50?

UPDATE: BMW confirms that I can use 20’ wheels on xDrive40 with sports brakes.

My 2012 BMW with M package came with low profile performance tires. The rear tires were larger than the front, which gave the SUV a really aggressive look which I loved. I purchased another set of all-weather tires and wheels for winter. The dealership actually stored them for me for about two years. I decided to switch to all-season Continentals about two years after that. My 2020 X5 with M package came with all-season tires. I configured my iX with all-season 21 in tires. it was a hard choice because the iX that I saw at a car show had really hot looking 22 inch performances tires.Hi thx, and great to have a forum.
