Use this calculator to determine the change in wheel and tire fitment:

You can plug in different combinations until you find the right one.

I have almost the same problem, as I have an 19" wheels and tires style 89 and would like to install them on X3 (no sport package), so will I need any spacers or something else to put them on? Thanks in advance

thanks, actually, in reality it looks much better . Later I will take a picture on DSC. By the way, no spaces, no other things needed to install e65 wheels. wheel size front 245/45/19 (9") offset 24, rear 275/40/19 (9") offset 24. My wife is telling that driving become much better

Hi all. I have a E60 535d with exterior sport package and therefore it came with 135M wheels (8x18" ET20 245/40). I changed the wheels and once i also have a blk X3 with H&R springs (1,3"F and 1,2"R), i mounted it on the X3 to see how it looks. The wheels looked a blast on the X3. After some time i had a puncture on a tire (RFT tires - stock on E60) and once it had a much lower diameter tire (25,7" vs stock 27,2" tire diameter) and it increased the speedo error, i decided that it was time to change the tires size. I pulled the trigger on the 235/55-18" and and ride became much more smooth, and the 28" diameter tires fitted without any rubbing issue (even with the front wheels turned to the max as possible). The 28" tire diameter made the X3 looks like a stronger and performer SUV, and decreased the gap between tire and fender (only 3 finger of gap). Now that i got a bit tired of the look of the 135M wheels, i was thinking on 4x front Y149 wheel (9x20" ET24) from the 7-series with 245/40-20" (27,8" tire diameter). What do you think?
