BMW X5 wheel fitment — II E70 LCI
BMW X5 wheel fitment
BMW X5 wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the BMW X5 II (E70) LCI (2010–2013).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x120 |
| Centre bore | 74.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14 x 1.25 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 140 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | staggered |
| TPMS | direct |
| Run-flat | Yes |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 8.5J–10J | ET12–ET35 |
| Rear (staggered) | 10J–11.5J | ET27–ET50 |
Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
Overview
