Yes. All wheels are interchangeable within the E53 platform. Although 17's won't clear the front calipers on the 4.6 and 4.8is

Aren't they the same size,same widths,same weight,, same hub bore, and same wheel offset? Why would they NOT fit?

Yes they fit.
In addition, internal wheel tire pressure sensors are not needed. The 4.8is system doesn't care since it runs off the wheels speed (ABS) sensors.

Interesting.. So what would one need to retrofit the system if you don't have it?

![]() Speed senors ones are a PITA....... No info just a light which makes you pull over, check each wheel, check pressure and then reset the system to recognize the 2 PSI difference front to back. Mine only tell you after driving 30 mins at HWY speeds.
