    BMW X5 alloys on a T5?

    I know the BMW X5 has the same 5x120 stud pattern but do the X5 wheels fit the T5? I'm not wheel expert but I know it's more than just the stud pattern.
    thanks in advance.

    I think this one has been mentioned on here before , offset is one issue that may need checking as if the offset is too far out it places more strain on the axle/bearings . Here you go some info for you just found it after first post .T5 Wheel J and ET Fitment

    I think I'll stick to VW T5 wheels rather than risk it. Cheers

    X5 wheels do fit perfectly. A number of members here have fitted them and they look good.

    The are 5x120 although the centrebore is slightly different, but spigot rings sorts that out quickly. They are also load rated higher than any VW OEM T5 wheel ....

    I have a set in 18" in really good condition (that came off my Amarok) that I'd sell cheaply including spigot rings, wheel bolts (you need BMW bolts) and badges. $400 for 5 wheels (no tires on 4 and the 5th has a tire only good for a spare) and I can deliver for free in Brisbane. At the moment they are plasti-dipped black, but its a 5min job to return them to silver if that is what you want.

    Incidentally, the spare rim actually came off a T5 Multivan .... bought from another member on this forum

    This is what they would look like (in silver) on a T5
