Tire Size

[Tahoe Warrior]

I would like to replace my original 235-65-17 on my 3.0 x5 (no sport package) with wider tires....

Has anyone used 255-60-17 size tires? According to the chart it's about an inch wider and had the same 6'' side wall

Thanks,
Allen

Hey Allen, welcome to X5 World.
Since you have a 2003 model year X5, this should be posted under "E53" (E53 is BMW's designation for 2000-2006 X5s) This forum is for the 2nd generation X5, the 2007 E70.
I'm sure one of the moderators will be more than happy to move your post.

if you're going to get aftermarket wheels, try getting 18s, 19s, or 20s.

255/60-17s fit,

you are gonna have a problem with correct speed if you go down. It's better to go with 18' and 255 all around
