BMW X5 E70: 5x120, a 74.1 mm hub, bolts tightened to 140 Nm

The second-generation BMW X5 (E70), from the 3.0si to the 4.8i, then from the xDrive30d to the M50d, from 173 to 280 kW, whose first Swiss vehicle type record dates from January 2007, is 5x120 on a 74.1 mm hub, with M14 x 1.25 wheel bolts tightened to 140 Nm: koleso.ee and SCC give these measurements and this torque, each cited in the table. The X5 F15 that succeeds it, and the X5 M E70, have their own pages.

18 and 19 inches on all four wheels, 20 and 21 inches staggered

The vehicle type record of the Swiss Federal Roads Office (ASTRA), the document that sets the tyre and wheel combinations a car may carry, permits, for the X5 E70, the same wheel on all four wheels in 18 inches, 8.5J with an offset of 46 with 255/55 R18 tyres, and in 19 inches, 9J with an offset of 48 with 255/50 R19 tyres. In 20 and 21 inches, the rear wheel is wider: 10J with an offset of 40 at the front, with 275/40 R20 or 285/35 R21 tyres, and at the rear 11J x 20 or 11.5J x 21, with 315/35 R20 or 325/30 R21 tyres. For these rear wheels, the record permits two offsets: the table leaves them blank rather than choosing one.

The load the wheel must carry

The highest permissible load in its records is 1,365 kg on the front axle and 1,755 kg on the rear axle, i.e. 682.5 and 877.5 kg per wheel. The tyre keeps at least the load index of the original fitment: 109 in 255/55 R18, 107 in 255/50 R19, 110 for the rear 315/35 R20 (reading a tyre); the guide wheels for a heavy car: the load per wheel details this calculation. Braking sets the smallest possible wheel diameter: the guide wheels and brakes explains why.

What these measurements say about a forged wheel

The offset positions the wheel in the wheel arch: a wider wheel, or a lower offset, brings it closer to the wing. The design office starts from the measurements on this page, your brakes and your tyres to calculate the width and offset of your wheels, then submits them to you. The offset calculator compares two fitments: it compares, it does not choose the measurement for you.

Roadworthiness test: what is examined

The French roadworthiness test (contrôle technique) examines the wheel without removing it (cracks, deformation, a wheel that protrudes beyond the bodywork) and verifies that the tyre size is one provided for by the manufacturer or accepted as equivalent. Keeping a tyre size from the original fitment, and at least its load index, avoids having to justify it; the details are on the roadworthiness test and registration page.

What we record before machining

Configure your forged wheels for the BMW X5 (E70)

Our design office establishes your car's measurements from its exact version, stated on the registration certificate, and presents them to you before machining. Each set is cut from forged 6061-T6 aluminium, machined on a 5-axis CNC centre, in monoblock, two-piece or three-piece construction; our wheels are designed to JWL/VIA standards. Prices by diameter and the lead time are given on this page, under “What Onyx can make”. Start your configuration or write to contact@onyxforgedwheels.com.
