Wheel upgrade from stock to Z4 - will they fit?

[birck6]

Appreciate it MRBMWX5. I just got off the phone with Firestone Tires. They guy was flipping out on me telling me that though he agrees they'll fit, the wheels were made for the Z4 and not an X5 - as such, he says it's a major safety concern and that the wheel is only made to support the weight of a Z4 and not X5. I'm not necessarily sure that I agree with what he's saying. Thoughts?

AAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!

OK, just to clarify, you are trying to put wheels from a Z4 onto an '02 X5 that currently has 15" wheels???

I thought the smallest wheels ever offered on the X5 were 17"???

[birck6]

Your correct. I just went to the parking lot for a quick look - there 17".

The rims will fit fine and work fine..... You just have to have the right size tires like Mrbmw says....Thats it..

Outstanding. I appreciate everyone's help on this.

What about offset? Not sure what they are for Z4 or X5, but you need to take that into consideration.
