    I run a 180 on my X1, but i do have a 5.5" wide rear wheel. OEM cast wheel is 5.0" and the PM wheel is 5.5"... with that said, i believe a 180 will still fit a 5.0" wheel

    i run 190/50 17 on the rear of my 02 x1. I like the way it feels on the road especially in the tight and windys, much better than the ol 170..
