Yes, you can mount e53 wheels to an e70 or f15 X5 if you incorporate hubcentric spacers that bridge the 74.1mm hub of the latter X5s to the smaller 72.56mm e53 X5 hub.

Do take into consideration the wheel’s offset because most don’t want the wheels to stick out past the fender. For those unfamiliar…to get the final wheel offset when using spacers…you DEDUCT the width of the spacer from the wheel’s offset. So a 45mm offset wheel with a 15mm spacer installed will have a new offset of 30mm…not 60mm.

I dug back thru my online purchases and found that I did purchase 15mm spacers. The vendor doesn’t have any online presently…but a quick eBay search did find some…the pic below is for 20mm spacers & extended bolts being sold for the e39…but these would also work for the e70/f15 since they have the same wheel bolt pattern. But you’d need to contact the vendor about the lug bolts…the X5 uses a slightly different lug bolt.
