A search of this forum will reveal that 17" wheels (from an older X5) and 225/60-17 tires will also work. This combination has the advantages of even cheaper wheels and tires. This size 17" tire results in the same overall diameter and load rating of your 19's and provides a narrower-width tire that works best in snow-covered roads. If one lives in a snow belt, the overall appearance of wheels and tires doesn't matter when the entire vehicle is covered with dirt, grime and salt for months at a time.
