OP, my advice. Somewhere you can find the G05 X5 suspension travel in inches. You can measure from the ground to the bottom of the differential. You can find out the max lift height of the aluminum jack you are considering buying. Subtract the diff hight from the jack lifting height. Then compare that number to the roughly half the suspension travel of the X5. If the delta between the diff height and jack Mac lift is more than 1/2 the suspension travel, the jack will lift the tires off the ground.
The aluminum jack has more than enough lifting power to raise one end of the X5 at a time. To rotate your tires from left-to-right, lift at the diff and put jack stands under the plastic lifting blocks on the side sills of the chassis. You can then safely swap with wheels. The same goes for the front end.
Also, get a 1/2-inch drive electric impact gun to remove the wheel bolts. A decent gun is a around $150 and greatly eases the operation of removing wheels.
