2001 X5 3.0 Rims

[amentges]

I have the basic 5 star rims (17's) and was wondering if the 4.4's BMW 19x9 Staggered Wheels/Rims would fit? Or if anything necessary would need to be done for them to fit. They just look so much nicer. The markings on the rims I was looking at are

E-9Jx19EH2 IS48

XR-HT

AACK2

DOT 1096231-13 BMW


THanks for the help

Did any callibration need to occur for the spedometer or anything of that nature? What size tires are you running?

Thanks Andy

No need, it has the same diameter only wider, It look sportier.

Same diameter? Wouldn't I be going from a 17" to a 19" i thought that would screw things up. Did you notice any type of ride difference bumpier or anything like that? Also what size tire do you run? Thanks for all the help Andy

It is a Plus 2 sizing so you are right it will, increase rim diameter by 2 inches
but by using 19' lower profile tires, you keep the overall tire diameter within 3% of the original equipment tires. It is bumpier in the city, but not bumpier than my 03 MINI Cooper S.
