'08 4.8i Aero kit + Style 168s
Finally found some 20"ers locally, OEM style 168s (The 315s look great from behind). Got the aero kit fitted, fender flares, and some painted front reflectors.

Just upgraded to an E70 from my E53 4.8 which came with those wheels. Would love to trade my E70 20's for those...

Those look great! Did you have to do anything to the 168s? Or did they mount correctly as is? I am thinking of going with these rims, but do not want to have to mod the rims (bore them) if possible.

Just get wheels for E70 X5 and not for X5M, X6, or X6M. Then you won't have to do any boring. E70 X5's have 74mm wheel bore on all 4 wheels.

This does not apply to replicas. Those sometimes fit X5, X5M and X6.

I agree Brian, that is what I want to do, but I found a nice used set and am checking to make sure they were on an E70 and not E53.

To make it easier, will you sell your 214s & arches to me cheap? You are probably tired of them.

I did get tired of my 214's. Then I painted them Ferric Grey so they made me happier a little longer. Now I have made them my winter tire set.

I have purchased 336's as my summer set now

Man, two sets of 20s...must be nice. Believe it or not, there are only a few X5s running around Arkansas. I can't ever find 20" wheels used on Craigslist or anything else.
