where to get 19" wheel?
Since I tow, I want to carry a spare so I don't get stuck somewhere with a flat tire. However, Tire Rack doesn't have any 19" wheel options (just discussed with one of their reps). Any other suggestions for options or anyone got a single 335 they want to sell?

If you want a matching 335 19" wheel you have two choices: Ebay/Craigslist and get lucky or go to BMW dealer and purchase one. Unfortunately that may be your only options. These wheels are a bit new to have a bunch of people upgrading or selling from a bone yard.

What about non-matching choices? I've always used Tire Rack to make the wheel matching easy. Any other good sites that will have 19s that fit the E70?

I thought E53 wheels didn't fit the E70?

Also check ebay, of course. Finally I assume any wheel/tire designed to go on the bmw lug pattern that is of appropriate diameter would fit, wouldn't it? Just do the calculations (google for a calculator if you don't know how) and make sure the tire has the proper load rating and overall diameter, backspacing, etc and I think any design would do. Basically start with the other X5 e70 tire designs and look for a used one for sale. I assume your issue would be being far away from home with a trailer behind you, since as you know runflats will get you home at reduced speed for quite a distance. I also tow at work and my nightmare is an unfixable flat with my gear behind me on the expressway. |

I tow long distances and don't want to let a flat tire stall me for hours.

Just purchased a OEM BMW wheel set for my 09 X5 4.8i from Mike at MidWest Wheel . The email link is at [email protected] . I have mounted my 4 new Michelin Alpin Tours (255/50R17s) , and in the first snow, they exceeded expectations in the MN first 8 inch wet snowfall. Ask Mike about a one wheel set up to meet your needs. He exceeded mine for safe OEM Winter Tire setup, which provides a 'in home garage' emergency supply of wheels if a mid-winter flat takes out a tire.

Did I read that correctly that you had 17 rims for snows? I've never seen anything less than an 18 is the reason I ask.
Thanx
