Thanks

I think it's a off-set conflict that you need to be aware of!
Yes from what I've been told I'd need wheel spacers.... not too knowledgable on this topic.

I think there is no way you could fit original M5 rims on your Xi. If you really like the styling of them, you should look foor replicas with high offsets. But replicas are always just replicas and with a high offset they will not look the same.

They won't fit....do some searching on xi's and wheels. There are no OEM 19's that will fit, except for some X5 or X3 rims.

They won't fit. As for X5, are you referring to the E53 or E70? The center bore size vary on both, so now you have this and the offsets to worry about.
