Can anyone confirm that these are a straight bolt on, and do not require any mods, nor will it change anything (maybe a little with the speedo), that will come back to haunt me later...
Also, even though I have run flats, I needed the extra security of a spare so I bought a "kit" which includes the donut, jack, and handle. In a pinch, could I run a donut with 19s or 20s for a short time?
Many thanks....

19" or 20" OE BMW wheels will bolt on, but you have to look at:
- off set value of wheel
- center bore size (you X5 has 74.1mm CB)
- bolt pattern will be the same: 5 x 120mm
Your tires will be more expensive - $300 to $400/ea depending ...
If the wheels you are looking at came off a X6, they will have different size CB front and rear. You will need to modify the wheel (preferred method is boring out: from 72.56 to 74.1mm), or using "hub centric adapters" (less preferred method).
What style nr, brand and size wheels you are considering? Show pic or link if you have one.
