Not sure if the mounting studs and bolt circle match those on the E60. The X5’s wheels have a larger offset than the E60’s. I would inquire by calling the dealer parts department.

My 525i has X5 wheels on it.
Mine are vibrating because they are slightly crooked. I can buy a used set of these in good condition for less money than I can fix mine, but they need to be mended or replaced. I intend to use my current tires and am confident that the bolt arrangement will work. I’m just curious whether others think the X5 wheels would look odd on an e34.
No, in my aesthetic view. Even so, you could certainly do worse. With E34 lines, the design would work quite well, but the absence of deepdish is what would prevent me from attaching those.
Aside from aesthetics, I believe the X5 wheels’ offsets differ from what the E34 requires. However, I can’t exactly recall what that offset is. Since the entire wheel is likely smaller on the E34, you’ll also require smaller tires than X5 OEM.
The offset of X5 wheels is excessive for the E34. If you’re seeking for genuine BMW wheels, check out those from other 5/6/7/8/Z8 BMW models. These models have similar features:
* Wheel hub size 72.56 ( EXCEPT the e39 5 series which has a larger 74.1mm hub)
Wheels from the BMW 3/Z3/Z4/X3/X5 don’t fit without modification since their wheel offset ranges from 35 to 48 millimeters.
20mm spacers would be required, but I guess it would be somewhat cool. Those wheels on the 3 series are kind of cool. Similar to the previous Torque Thrusts in appearance.
With all your expertise and pictures, Qsilver7, you never let anyone down. Gratitude for being such a valuable gift.
This chaos was not initiated by me, and it cannot be stopped by me. I am merely a bystander in this mayhem.
There is a vast range of users here with various tastes, thus for this forum to function, there needs to be a certain degree of respect where people can distinguish between helpful criticism and unpleasant, uncalled-for opinions.
I recently sold my 2007 M5 and the winter wheel and tire set is currently stored in my garage. Are they compatible with my 2011 X5 xdrive50i? Just interested. I need winter tires, but I’d rather use the M5’s brand-new winter setup than spend money on new wheels and tires.
I do believe that the wheels’ offset is incorrect, and I also believe that their center bore may be too tiny.
You would need to have the wheels machined to 74.1 (or buy spacers that convert from 74.1 to 72.6).
Tires will undoubtedly be too low (by a full 2 in., or 6% difference in tire size).
Since they don’t identify the M5 as being able to use 18″, I estimated the tires for it.
My friend, you are an amazing man! Wow, you deserve a beer. I appreciate the advice. You’re right that the overall diameter is smaller, therefore I should have put two and two together before the post. I have offered them for sale. I’m grateful.
I simply had a quick question; despite my investigation, I haven’t been able to get the precise solution because I can’t locate the e53’s readings.
however I was curious if an F15 x5 will fit a 255/55/18 rim from the E53 (sports package). I can see from the specification sheet that it is standard size for the f15 but sports package for the e53.
You may check wheel size fitments on websites like wheel-size and willtheyfit.
To say I’m confused about considering E53 wheels for an F15 is an understatement. as the majority of us wait for the 22s’ new G05 designs!
They do fit, yes. same 8.5jx18 rim width, identical 5×120 bolt pattern, and nearly identical offset (difference is 2mm or 0.08inch). For F15, there is also the option of 255/55/18. I’m assuming you only use it in the winter. In any case, I fail to understand why you would ruin the f15 appearance with worn-out, tiny rims.
I want to buy an F15 with the M Sport option, however I don’t believe it has winter tires.
I was aware that the bolt sizes were equivalent and that the 255/55/18 was compatible with the f15, but I wasn’t certain about the center bore because, for some reason, I couldn’t find information on the e53 bore.
Wheel fitment chart for BMW
The information in our guide is based on factory options from BMW and reliable tuning firms; these are the wheel and tire sizes that might have been ordered for your car at the time of manufacturing or that have been tried out by organizations like Alpina, Hartge, and AC Schnitzer. Using these sizes allows you to adapt larger/smaller or different-style wheels while still guaranteeing proper fit and safety, which is crucial. Instead of reproductions or copies, we only offer to our customers authentic BMW wheels created by or for BMW.
When purchasing new BMW wheels, you can use this fitment guide to determine the range of wheel sizes that will fit your vehicle as well as the requirements for proper installation. Although our web configurator offers an automatic way to find the right wheels for your BMW, you should still refer to this chart if you’re looking through our product selection by hand. This table not only aids in determining wheel sizes but also shows tyre sizes for each wheel; this information is helpful when buying a set of replacement tires or adding tyres to an order for new wheels.
The BMW car type (e.g., 1 series, 3 series, 5 series, etc.) and model designation number are listed in this fitment chart; the model designation number is a development code (also known as the Entwicklungscode) that BMW assigns to each vehicle model. The most recent BMWs have been given the letter “F” and a number instead of the traditional “E” and “number” development codes.
For instance, BMW 3 Series vehicles produced between 2006 and 2011 appear on our fitment chart as BMW 3 Series (E90), and BMW 3 Series vehicles produced after 2012 appear as BMW 3 Series (F30).
If you are unclear of your vehicle’s development code, please consult your owner’s manual. You may also find more information by taking a look at our list of BMW models and codenames.
The dimensions and offsets for BMW wheels and tires are provided in our fitment guide below. For your information, our primary fitment guide includes a page with an explanation of each of these measures.
Will 3 Series wheels fit BMW X5 wheels?
The Tire Rack sponsors the Wheels and Tires topic. By purchasing tires from the above link, you can directly support e90post. For each purchase made using the link, e90post receives sponsor funding to maintain the website. Disclaimer
Has anyone on this forum installed X5 wheels on an E90? If so, were there any issues? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as my 2006 320d mSport is not currently lowered and may not be in the future. I searched but found nothing.
They are wheels like any other in terms of fitting. Make sure they fit by paying attention to the diameter, width, and offsets. For rolling diameters equivalent to those for which our automobiles were built, you would definitely need to alter the tires.
It’s not really a decent idea beyond “will it work?” The majority of X5 wheels are 20 inches “or greater. 20 “will function, but you’ll be forced to use extremely low profile tires, which will make your ride rough and increase your chance of damage when you run into obstacles on the road. Since the rims are often substantially heavier, it will also significantly reduce handling and fuel efficiency.
More details are provided below. These x5 wheels have the same specifications. He ultimately decided on 15mm spacers all around, 235/35/19 front tires, and 265/30/19 rear tires.
Does an X5 accept X7 wheels?
Please let me know if the X5 wheels fit the X7. If I assume that the wheel diameter and tire are the same, what is the difference? Because they had different diameters, the dealer gave me an absurd response. In the case of choosing the same wheel diameter and tire type, I could envision varying offsets but not diameters.
Winters from the X5 M50i collection are my preference over those from the X7 since, in my opinion, they are much prettier.
Get a wheel for the X5 that fits over your MSport brakes if you have them. The X5 or X7 wheels are not particularly distinctive. They share part numbers and are interchangeable.

Yes, I own the M50i version. For the X5 M50i, they provide excellent winter sets, but not necessarily what I like for the X7.
The available wheels on both are the same. On the X7, tire sizes do have taller diameters. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use X5 tire sizes. Depending on their load capacity.
I decided to get the winter set as displayed; those are the 21″ wheels that are compatible with the x7 M50i when assembling cars and come with Blizzak LM001 Bridgestone winter tires. The set costs $4,000.
Fits a BMW 5×120?
Early BMW 3 Series cars, such as the E21 and E30, used a 4×100 PCD. Later models, however, moved to a 5×120 PCD, which has now become standard across the whole BMW lineup and is referred to as “BMW fitting.”
Although the 5×120 PCD is common to all current 3 Series vehicles, it is important to keep in mind that alternative wheel bolt sizes may be needed depending on the specific model. While F series cars (F30, F31, F34, and F80) need M14 wheel bolts, E series BMWs (E21, E30, E36, E40, E90, E91, E92, and E93) accept M12 wheel bolts.
There are PCD hub converter kits available that fit over your current wheel hub and enable you to utilize wheels with different PCD patterns on your car if you want to install a modern wheel with a 5×120 PCD on an early 4×100 3 Series model.
