X5 Wheels on an X3......revisited.....
 

OK, so here's the deal: X5 wheels WILL fit an X3. :thumbup: The offset, however, has to be within the allowable range for the X3 which is +38 to +51, and if a larger diameter is used, low profile tyres are recommended, of course.
During this adventure to find the answer to this pressing question, my baby became intimately acquainted with an inappropriately placed wooden pole in the parking lot of the restaurant at which we had brunch.....WHAT A BUMMER!!!! :doh: The stealer quoted me an approximate repair cost of $650, but I have a feeling it'll be WAAAAAY more than that as I have PDC and those frickin' headlight washers. According to realoem.com, the part alone tops $1,000. CRAP!!!! :thumbdown

Ugh! Sorry to hear about the pole.

It's good to know the X5 rims will fit on the X3. Thanks :thumbup:

No problemo...it's all good...she'll be just like new in a week! And for only $1000!! :thumbup:

Hi! So I am a little confused. Were you able to put the STAGGERED style 87 x5 wheels on the x3? What tires did you have to get or could they be left the same as the were on the x5. The Rear 315/35/20. Thanks in advanced!
