21" style 215, would anyone recomend this size?
 

Hey all,

wanting to buy wheels for my 04 x5.

saw a set of 21" 215's on a e70 today (space grey with grey 215's)
looked CRAZY!

Can I even buy 21" replicas???

and if not, are the 10" and 11" 21" 215's too big for an e53???

thanks all:thumbup:

you can go with 21" but it is hard to find the tires side and it costly.

are the tires too tall or short compared with 20" 4.8 OEM size?


What would you go with if price wasnt an issue?

The 21's will carry the same outside diameter as the 20's and they will fit without rubbing. go for it but you might have to shave down the inside hub of the rim for fitment. do it if you can afford those tires every 25000 miles

sorry, I don't get what you mean about shaving the hub of the rim?

also, can I get replica 21's?
215's

(thanks for the msg, I pm'd ya back!:thumbup:

You will need hub centric rings to fit e70 wheels.

Eurotech used to sell them, but due to trademark issues they have quit. But as someone said earlier the tires for these are very limited and expensive.

IMHO, just get a set of 20" OEM Style 87 rims. For an E53 X5 this is the best looking set for me...

Think about it you have e53 not e70 you should get 168 like:tapping:

NAHH!! go for the 215's.....but like mrbmwx5 and x5 dawg said...the 21's are hard to come by in tire size.....in a pinch..lets say a flat...it will not be easy to get......

but yeah gor for the 215's!!! :)
