I am missing my 2004 X5 Brochure, but the 2006 X5 brochure is clear that 18x8.5 is the 'standard' Sport Package wheel (for both 3.0 and 4.4i); you had to check yet another box to get the staggered 19 inch. I think it was the same in '04.

Thanks everyone for checking and your input. I was thinking 19's were optional equiptment and 18's were standard with the sport package but wanted to confirm. It's all good information. The X I was looking at was nice and but I am looking for one with less miles than the 67k this one has. So, the hunt goes on. We aren't in a rush so we can take our time.

Just to clarify the answer, since I own an 04 with Sport and 19" rims. The simple answer is the 19" rims are an OPTION. The 18" rims are standard sport package wheels.

Carry on.

i owned 2004 X5 Sports package..

regular sport package rims were Style 74 (100% sure) and optional ($$) were style 132 (not 100%)

same applied to 2005. However, 2006 regular sport rims were Style 183

Hello, I am also new in this forum. I just notice that I have 255x18 for my X5 04 4.4i
and the spare was 235x17 too. Thanks for clear the ices.

Other question: I would like to change my wheel to 19" and I saw some one selling 4
wheel 285/45R19 I did talk to him and he say it is OK for my X5, but I talk to tirerack
they say that I should go with the 255/50R19 for front and 285/45R19 for rear.

Any one try 4 of 285/45R19 before for X5 04, would it have any problem ?

Any comment would be appreciated, Thanks

do it, it will turn like a truck, but then again, it is one...

the advantage is you will be able to rotate your tires, though many will say don't do it

These 19"s you saw for sale,are these same specs as oem?Offset and width?
If these are indeed the same then with the 285/45/19 tyres ,your tyres will be 12/15mm closer to your suspension and 15/18mm also sticking out farther.
The rolling diameter of both 255/50 and 285/45 are exactly the same,so you are ok here.
They should be fine.
Tirerack are giving you good advice..255 front and the 285 rear,as this is oem set up.....but they want to sell your 2 new tyres

Thx Powers1 for your advised
