I'm pretty sure they are OEM and not replicas - in which case they are 20" diameter, 10" front, 11" rear, 275/40/20 front 315/35/20 rear. Edit: I think the offsets are 37 front, 40 rear. Also I do understand I would need to get the appropriate hubcentric rings.

I need to get new tires for summer and thinking of upgrading from the style 57s I have. I use this car for towing so the big wide tires would be an upgrade from that point of view. They would be expensive to buy tires for, but I hardly drive this car except to tow the camper in the summer.
They would fit fine except you would need to get hub centric rings.
The center mounting hub on the E70 is a tad bigger than that of the E53, so when getting E70 rims for the E53, they would be a tad bigger and would possibly not be 100 percent centered over the hub when mounting those heavy wheels.
ALL e70 X5s ( except for X5M rear and all e71 X6’s on the rear ) have a 74.1mm wheel hub. ALL e53 X5s have a 72.56mm wheel hub.
