ernaldamerican is on a distinguished road
switching rims on 2003 X5 3.0

I am looking to see if anyone has experience with the following: I want to get a second set tires /rims for summer. I have the X5 E53 with 17 inch rims. I would like to go with the taller / wider rim package that the 4.4 or 4,8 had. In looking at the tire wheel size link BMW Rim Bolt Pattern Reference Guide RimBoltPattern.com it appears that other than width/ height change everything else is the same,


X5 3.0 01-UP 17x7.5 5x12014x1.5b74.1H
X5 4.4 01-UP 19x8 5x12014x1.5b74.1H
X5 4.6 02-UP 20x8.5 5x12014x1.5b74.1H

Does anyone know if the wheel wells are the same depth / height (I would assume so) and that there isn't any interference with the larger rims on a 3.0? Also is there any known changes that i would have to do (brake rotor maybe) to go with the 19 or 20 inch rims.

Thanks
