Are all E70 X5 OEM wheels/tires interchangeable?

[Flying Ace]

I have a LCI 2012 X5d with Sports Package (suspension ), it came with OEM 20 inch wheels, and I'm thinking of using OEM Style 209 or 210 18 inch wheels and OEM spec tires. Will OEM 18s fit my car? What about OEM Style 211 19 inch wheels?

Thanks

You can put oem 18s 19s or 20s. The hub bore is what matters and its the same for all those. X5 M vehicles are different as their rear wheels have a different hub bore. I went from a 19 to a 20" wheel personally.

you will need a 15mm spacer minimum for the rear wheels if you run 18-19"

what? really? How is this so, I always thought aside from X5M wheels, at least the 19s and 20s are interchangeable across all Sport Package X5s

Didn't realize you had Sport Package

What's the width of those 209's? If you have the Sport Package you've got the wheel arches....might look kinda goofy with skinny wheels/tires

yeah I see what you're saying. There's a small cost savings in going down to 19s regarding tire replacement costs...but savings are much better for 18's.

Actually, I just found Toyo Proxes ST IIs in OEM 20 sizes at a similar cost to 18 DWSs...so, I'm probably just staying with my 20s.

If you need the flat fender flares i have a set

Which 20s do you have? I have a 2007 x5 4.8 sport package but it came with the standard 211s 19 inch wheels. I would be willing to do a trade plus cash on my end..

(then again that would be hard seeing as you are 3000 miles away lol)

Style 214, I'm going to want a local trade

[neliconcept]

I hear ya, local is best, I do wish I could find an oem set of 20s.. either 214s or 336s

Saving are 'much better' - what does that mean in terms of dollars saved? A couple hundred dollars? Unless you drive a ton of miles per year a set of tires should last a good 2 years even with the 214's, which IMO are one of the best OEM wheels to be offered on the E70. So you save a couple hundred buck over the course of a few years?

C'mon, you have the Sport Package, why hand-cuff it with some tiny, chintzy looking 18's!

Alright alright, peer pressure wins again.
That and I found 20 inch tires (Toyo Proxes ST II) that's about the same price as any 18/19s DWS tires.

I have an X5M and am already thinking about summer wheels... what's the rear hub bore on the ///M versus non-M?

Yep, in October. I'm not gonna lie, I miss my E90M3 terribly. The X5M just doesn't have the same... personality as the M3. The X5M a gorgeous pice of machinery - I'm in no way suffering! - but I miss rowing gears and the noises the S65 (and the Gintani race exhaust) make. I'm already scouring the FS board at M3post to see if I can get back in one. Husband is less than pleased. oops.
