Using any wheel from an e70 or f15 X5 will be a double WHAMMY in that not only is the 19" wheel to wide (its not the height or circumference but the width that prevents the cargo floor from laying flat)...but the hub bore for the 2nd & 3rd gen X5 is larger (74.1mm) versus the e53's 72.56mm hub bore.


Again, using an 18"/19"/20" wheel in the e53 spare tire compartment...it is the width...not the circumference that causes issues. Remember, in the spare well, the tire is laying down...not standing up.
