2003 Sport Wheel Size
 

I would like to upgrade the 19" rims on my wifes 2003 X5 3.0d Sport to 22". What tyres sizes and rim widths plus offest should I go to to retian the original gearing and does anyone know the offset of the original rims?

Tell us the wheel style on your 3.0d Sport and we can show you
the offset of your current wheel and a site to do some wheel
footprint/offset/fittment stuff...

22s? Hmmm; not my pick for running around outside the bailey
of Not'ham Castle, but different strokes.

These are the standard wheels. What j are they too please?

Look like Style 63s to me:

front: 9"x19", offset is 48
rear: 10"x19", offset is 45

from this site below; just use top tab, plug in E53 and the wheels
are listed. Click on your or any wheel shown and it gives you the
stats:

A very good wheel/tire comparator:

Let it load and plug in your current wheel/tire specs on
left model and then you can play with potential new wheel
sizes/offset etc. to see how it fits.
