I'm looking for 17" wheels for my 2006 530xi to put snow tires on. Can anyone tell me if the stock 17" wheels off of a 2004 545i will fit my car? I'm looking at some used wheels and not sure if they are the right fit.
Thanks

welcome. the stock wheels off of any non-xi model will not fit the xi models. the xi models have a much higher offset. PM sent, and enjoy the forums

I hate to disagree with the Doc, but he does support the # 3 team in the country, so Ill dissagree, they will fit, however they will stick out slightly, so if you are okay with that, then the answer to your question is Yes. I sold my staggard style 124 wheels to an XI owner and he was okay with the set up.

Check this link.....as well, heres a member with an XI and 166 wheels, so you should be good if you dont mind the sticking out.

You could maybe do a search and find him and check his photos. Its a black or blue xi of pictures in his drive way
