It was very hard to fit them on my LC2, and the X3 is supposed to be even tighter. I had to do a lot of trimming etc. to make them fit. I see in your sig that 2" lowering is in your future? If so then absolutely noy. I was bottoming out with stock height suspension.

Yea, I know, I haven't gotten springs on yet for that reason. But the wheels I have right now are SO UGLY. I sort of went spur the moment and found a good deal and purchased 18"s. If their gonna rub, I will trade them. If I hit a bump and they rub, I want to trade them.

Accents with 18's... specifically X3's look like a roller skate!

Stick with 16's or even 15's.

there is such thing as "to bigger wheels". 18 inch wheels on what i know as a very small car, looook stuuuuupidddddd! im putting 16s on my accent when i get tax return, but for an x3 i would even recommend 15s as still looking good. they stock a 13inch wheel yeah?

No bigger than 16" with either 195/45R16 or 205/40R16.
I have 205/45s and they rub slightly on hard turns or hard bumps.
If you want 15s, you can score a set from an elantra GT. Bolt on and go.
195/50R15s.
