( sorry but I don't understand how you know what wheels you can use where)
Denise, to my eye those wheels look like Style 209 wheels from an E70, (newer version X5). If so, the wheel hub bore is 74+ mm vs ~72.6 mm for your E53.
There are from memory, a few posters that have been successful in fitting the E70 wheels onto an E53, using hubcentric rings.

The "size" of those wheels is fine; it's just the different wheel bore dimension that is the concern...no dis to the OP selling them.

Imo, I would keep looking for E53 wheels; they come up on the Jukebox here, for sale, with regularity. Any OE E53 wheel, regardless of size, can be used on your 3.0 E53.
