Rims for winter Tyres

I am taking delivery of a Dynamic in Jan 12 (20 inch). I have the following tyres which I had on my BMW X5 MSport 4.0:

Pirelli Scorpion 235/65/R17

Does anyone know if I am able to fit these to FL2 rims?

Thanks. can these be fitted to the Dynamic? or must I buy 20 inch rims with 20 inch boots? I believe that the Dynamic arrives with summer boots, so winter boots are a must as I live in Germany.

Ok, now I need someone's expertise to tell me if I can safely fit the tyres and 17 inch rims to the Dynamic.

Do bear in mind that if you fit different size wheels to that delivered by the manufacturer you should notify your insurance company - in the even of a accident/claim the blighters will use any excuse including deviation from manufacturer specification/non approved part to find a reason not to pay up.
