The X5 above is fitted with the stock e46 M3 CSL 19 inch wheel/ tire combo , it does look extreme on an X5 doesn't it?

The smallest stock diameter for an e53 tire is about 28.7 inches;

Your tire retailer may be concerned about the minimum load rating, 103 or thereabouts;

They may be concerned regarding their own liability,
if they knowingly and willingly fit tires that are undersized and if they don't meet the minimum load rating...

You seem determined,
please post some pics when you have them fitted...
