I am new to luxury cars, and the iX is my first. Please forgive me if this is a naive question. My iX currently has 20-inch wheels.
If I want to switch to 22-inch wheels, is it as simple as buying 22-inch tires and wheels? Is there anything else I should be aware of?
What are the pros and cons of moving to 21 or 22 inches?
I assume larger wheels might reduce the range. Is that true?
Yes, go to the BMW website and look at the different wheels to get an idea. You need wheels, tires, and TPM sensors. It’s best to buy a complete set from someone else because they should still have the original tires on them.
Switching to larger wheels boost aesthetics. They often enhance the visual appeal of the vehicle, giving it a sportier and more aggressive look.
The downside of having larger wheels is they reduce ride comfort. Larger wheels with lower-profile tires can reduce ride comfort because the tires have less sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
Before switching to 22-inch wheels, you should ensure that they are compatible with your iX model in terms of bolt pattern, offset, and width.
