Will 2013 x3 m wheels fit 2013 x5 m sport

[Spkbmw007]

Good afternoon I just recently purchased a 2103 x5 with Msport options 3.0 6cyl. It has M sport staggered wheels with 275 40 20 front tires and 315 35 20 rears. Tires are Bridgestone Dueller HP and with a little snow today it was a little loose needless to say. I Found a set of M sport wheels from a 2013 X3 245 45 19 ZR Hancock all season tires. He says they are all the same width not staggered. Will these fit on my X5 and will it help in the snow. Just want to make a good move before I see any significant amount of snow. Thanks everyone

I assume that they are too small. I doubt it will help much in the snow if they aren't snow tires

They may work. They’re certainly not the same width (245 vs. 275 and 315), but that may be OK provided they clear the calipers and aren’t so narrow that they look bad or touch anything else, like the knuckle. All-seasons will still perform better than summer tires, but certainly not as well as dedicated winters. Look up the full specs of this setup and compare to yours. 19’s vs. 20’s aren’t an issue provided the aspect ratio (% of the tire width = sidewall hight, 45 on 19’s) makes up for your 35 and 40 on 20’s. You need to be sure there isn’t too much of a difference, or the transfer case may prematurely wear.

the X3 msport stock wheels would be 8.5Jx19 ET38.
a E70 X5 2013 35i stock staggered wheels would be 10Jx20 ET40 and 11Jx20 ET37.
a E70 stock 19 inch square set up wheels would be 9Jx19 ET48.

So the x3 wheels that you are looking at are .5 inch narrower than the stock E70 wheels. Assuming some studless ice-n-snow tires, they would likely work quite well.

For me, all-season tires don't work well in the winter vs snow tires.

Spkbmw007,

If you drive in a "spirited" fashion, you NEED winter tires. I'm in CT and still swap on/off winter tires every year. I have 20" staggered set for rims/tires winter and another for summer. 20" winter tires are not the safest option but they work just fine for me...

Congrats on the recent 2013 X5 M-Sport purchase. I too, recently brought a 2013 BMW X5 50i M-Sport. It came with the stock staggered 19" wheels but I installed the base 18" with snow tires for this Michigan winter.

To your question regarding the BMW X3 fitting the X5. If the bolt pattern and centerbore are the same then most likely they will fit but the tire diameter are not the same. The BMW X5 base 18" 255/55R18 is 737mm tire OD and the wheel you are referencing is a 19" 245/45R19 with 703mm tire OD. That's a huge difference in rolling circumference (~34mm).

Your MPH, MPG, and ride quality will be worst. Your vehicle ride height will be lowered by 17"mm as well. If you're worry about the snow, I would recommend finding a cheap set of stock size 18" with snow tires. Stock 18" rims are cheap on ebay or craigslist.

I'm in the auto industry and my basic understanding of tire/wheel, I would not recommend going to a smaller tire OD of the X3. There's also the load reserve of the tire able to handle the weight of the vehicle to keep in mind. The X5 is over 700lbs heavier than the X3. There are reasons
why OEM spec out certain sizes for the vehicle.

fyi, when looking for tires look at the manufactured date. I watched a youtube regarding old tires being sold as new because most people like me are not aware how to read all the lettering and numbers on tires when purchasing tires. There is a 4 number debossed on the tire showing the tire age. The first 2 number is the week number and the last is the year. So, 1218, means 12th week of 2018 the tire was manufactured.
