NEW VS-5RX Forged Wheel for SUVs and EVs

BMW G02 X4 Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide

Brake Clearance Information

In the engineering phase of wheel development we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter.

Our VS-5RX wheels will clear all factory brakes on the X4 in the configurations listed on this guide. If you have aftermarket brake clearance questions, please email expert@apexwheels.com.

xDrive Compatibility

All fitments listed on this guide are xDrive compatible. If you want to use alternate staggered tire sizes, feel free to email experts@apexwheels.com to confirm compatibility.
