Go out and measure the rims on your X5 now - My 19's are over 20" from lip to lip...

And now we know..so no more confusion..

Account for the lip of the rim folks. Minus out the lip which is probably an additional 3/4 of lip where the tire seats, that would give you the 21.5" you see in overall outside diameter.

Just like primetime said.
