Jon Montemuro |

Yes, you absolutely can! The BMW X7 is designed to accommodate factory wheel sizes of 20”, 21”, and 22”, giving you flexibility to upgrade without compromising performance or safety.

If your X7 currently rides on 20” rims and you're aiming for a more aggressive or luxurious appearance, upgrading to 22” wheels is a popular and safe move—as long as you match it with the correct 22” tire size.


🔧 What Happens When You Go from 20” to 22”?

  • You’ll need lower-profile tires to maintain the correct rolling diameter.

  • Ride quality may feel slightly firmer, but handling often improves.

  • The visual upgrade is substantial—larger wheels fill the wheel wells, giving the SUV a bold and refined presence.

  • Staggered tire setups (wider rear tires) are still compatible and commonly used with 22” wheels for sportier styling.


⚙️ BMW X7 Factory Wheel Size Overview

BMW offers the following sizes for the X7 from the factory:

  • 20" – Comfortable, great for all-season driving

  • 21" – Balanced blend of looks and performance

  • 22" – Premium look with sharp handling

  • 23" – Optional aftermarket upgrade (with the correct tire pairing)

💡 If you’re stepping up to 22”, we’ll make sure the tire profile and wheel offset match your X7’s specs to avoid issues like rubbing or speedometer errors.


📏 Bolt Pattern & Hub Details

When upgrading, it’s essential to know your vehicle’s bolt pattern and hub bore:

Model Year Bolt Pattern Center Bore
2018 & Down 5x120 74.1 mm
2019 & Up 5x112 66.6 mm

We’ll ensure your new wheels are perfectly matched to your vehicle’s year-specific specs.
