The wheels are heavy- suggest getting wheel hanger studs. They made the job a lot easier.
Did you torque the wheel bolts and if so to what value?

Thanks
I used 105ft lb which is just around 140nm. According to wheel-size.com (which i have used as a fitment guide) it seems 140nm is the recommended torque for x5 and x7.

There are countless threads on here about 88 ft lb but it seems that only applies to bmw coupes/sedans.
