17" Spare Wheel for E70 BMW X5 3.0D

[Mujahid]

Hi all, I am considering getting a full size wheel as a spare. I am looking at a 235/65/17. Has anyone tried this on an E70? does it clear the brake calipers, etc.
I did have a same size spare on my E53 and it worked fine. is the brake size the same on an E70?

thanks

Ok, so it seems that it does not fit.
The 17" BMW Mag has a slight taper on the inside that reduces it from 17"s to just about 15.5"s.
The Front Wheels are actually the problem with the large caliper.
Also the center hub is a bit larger for the 17"mag.

(I suppose in an emergency one could swap front and rear 19's, leaving the 17 at the back.
See picks for clearance difference between 17" and 19"
