I have searched the archives and can't seem to validate that 17" wheels will fit. right now I have 285 45 r19 on the rear and 255 55 r19 on the front. The Bridgestone dualer HP's are horrible on the snow. I found a set of 17" wheels from a 2001 X5 with 235 65 r17 Blizaks on them.

The archives point out that 2005 and later x5's have to have 18" wheels because the 17" wheels will hit the brake caliper. I was thinking that my 04 with the sport package might also have larger caliper.

Can someone validate that I will be ok buying these 17" wheels?
I would really appreciate it.
