The BMW X5 E53 wheel spacers are one of the easiest and quickest solutions to rubbing issues. By pushing your wheels and tires outwards, they provides more inner wheel clearance to fit a big brake kit. In fact, wheel spacers are just placed between the vehicle hubs and the wheels. They widen the track and change the offset.
A wider tack enhances the handling and improve the appearance. The more track width, the better stability and the resistance to rollover. But with all the options out there, what sizes of BMW X5 E53 wheel spacers are best? We’ll cover the key features that make them stand out and how to select the best BMW wheel spacers for your unique setup.
Best BMW X5 E53 Wheel Spacers Size Chart
Thickness:
Generally, you can use 3mm to 50mm wheel spacers with stock or aftermarket wheels. Here are the pros and cons of each size:
- 3mm to 10mm: Creates proper space for a big brake kit while reserving OEM-like style.
- 12mm to 20mm: Achieves a wider wheel stance and improves the handling.
- 25mm to 35mm: Good for fitting aftermarket coilovers, offering more stability when cornering.
- 40mm to 50mm: Idea for a wide body kit which gives your car a bold, powerful look.
Bolt Pattern (PCD):
Figuring out the correct bolt pattern (PCD) of the BMW X5 is the first step when researching and shopping for wheel spacers. For example, the BMW X5 E53 (1999-2006): PCD=5x120mm, CB=72.5mm, Thread=M14x1.5mm.
Correct Offset:
Wheel spacers reduce the offset. For example, if the BMW X5 E53 stock wheel offset is +48mm, then a 20mm spacer will make the final offset +28mm. Make sure the wheel offset is correct, especially when you switch to aftermarket wheels.
