New to X5 coming from X3F25 - question about wheels

[JensM]

Hello Forum,

New to the X5 forum coming from the X3 F25 equivalent

I am just trading in my 2011 X3 F25 2,0D (Company car) in and are replacing with a 2012 X5 3,0D M Sport (very low milage) - will pick up the X5 next Thursday.
I have a question re wheels. The X5 comes with the org M Sport 19" staggered wheels and summer tires. For next winter I obviously need a winter wheels and here comes my question:

For the X3 I privately bought a nice pair of 19" wheels and I own them I do not handle them back with the comp car.
Can those wheels (not tires) fit the X5?
They measure 8,5 x 19", 5 x 120, ET47 (73,2) K60. They are approved to be used on the X3. Name is MEGA Polera
1) Can they fit the X5?
2) If yes - will they be strong enough (X5 more heavy)
3) if fitting - is it legal?

If they can be used, I would plan keeping them and have 255/50x19 winter tires.

Thanks for advising
JensM

Really nobody with knowledge about this?

Thanks

no

Why don't you ask the MEGA Polera manufacturer - whoever that is - about max load rating? I assume they didn't stamp on the inside, like good manufacturers do?
Re size/offset, compare to OEM sizes and judge yourself.

Jens,

It is difficult for anyone to answer your questions with out direct product knowledge. The best thing would be for you to contact the wheel manufacturer and ask them. Perhaps the shop where you got the wheels could answer your question. You'll likely not have issue with the wheel size. The offset and bolt pattern could be issues. Again, checking with the wheel maker would be best.

Enjoy your new X5 -- it is a great vehicle.

Hey 3Bimmer

Am aware I could contact the wheel maker (if possible finding out who is the real manufacturer).
I was just hopeing any here had the knowledge whether an X3F25 and the X5 share same bolt pattern and centre bore.
The off set I could handling if trying the wheel on the X5 - but as I have to go to a tire shop to test test this off as I do not have equipment to lift the car, I was hopeing someone could advise if holes was identical

But thanks

NB, I agree the car is great - I would say a different level compared to the F25 2,0D

Cheers
