Will E90 wheels fit E70 X5?

I don't know too much about wheels, just trying to figure this one out.

E90: 5x120 bolt pattern Offset: fronts can be 35-40, and the rears can be 20-25 or 35-40.

E70: 5x120 bolt pattern Offset: I'm seeing different sets of numbers.

For example these wheels (19 x 8.5 et35) : http://www.modbargains.com/Avant-Gar...ls-E90-E92.htm

would they fit e70 35d w/sport package?

Maybe I'm overlooking something... weight of the truck in comparison to the e9x could be too much for the rims?

E90 wheels will not fit as is. Different center bore size. E90 wheels have 72.5 center bore. X5 has 74mm.
ECS tuning has adapters to change bore size.

^ thanks for the info. What is the purpose of different thickness? Act as a spacer?

Are there any other concerns other then the bore size?

Are the E90 wheels capable of handling the extra weight of the X?

BMW did it to prevent from swaping wheels between models. Those wheels look great, I wish they make it 20x11 and 20x10.

Also wondering the same thing.

I saw a set of 19" m6 style rims for the e70 on eBay. Specs match up perfect but also concerned about the weight, especially since I have the diesel which weighs even more.

It depends. Some wheels like OEM BMW or BBS wheels are strong and capable of handling more weight. I won't try cheap aftermarket wheels, as they are known to fail.
