X5 E53 3.0i wheel sizes

[saicab]

Hi guys I want to fit some new alloys on as my tyres need replacing and I thought I would upgrade the alloys aswell.
I'm looking for some 20" alloys but I'm not sure what pcd, et etc... To look for.
Can anyone advise?..

Just found some nice long deep dish wheels with these measurements can someone confirm if they will fit my 2003 e53.

Size 20"x 9.5"
PCD 5H120
ET: 35

Thanks

put in the new width and offset into here together with your old wheels

check what size the centre bore is also

Thanks shadrack for your link. But unfortunately i dont understand the results :'(

with the new wheels on the front wheel results are:
inner clearance 7mm more, outer position extend extra 19mm

with the new wheels on the rear the result are :
inner clearance 16mm more, outer position extend extra 4mm

Can anyone make sense of this and help me out. My fault of thinking 'if they fit they fit'

thanks in advance

so the front wheel will stick out 19mm further than where the current wheels do (same as yours with a 20mm spacer fitted so I would say they will be fine) and the gap between the wheel and the car at the back of the wheel is 7mm more so fine.

the rear will definatly fit as its only 4mm further than where it it now and the inner clearance is bigger

PLEASE REMEMBER I take no responsibility as these calculations are based on the fact you've input the correct wheel width and offset measurements for the new and current wheels.  If they are 100% correct they should fit, get a tape measure and make sure the front can come out the extra
