X6M 20" style 300m fitment on E70 X5

has any one put 20" X6M style 300m rims on a non-m X5? or have info on doing so?

i understand that the rear hub size on the X6M is 72.5mm and on the X5 is 74.1mm.

is a 72.5mm hub to 74.1mm wheel hub spacer/adapter from H&R, and longer lug bolts all i need to do this?

thanks.

Garage List
And some arch flares to cover the extra 20mm offset you'll bolt on with the spacers?.
PS I've only seen the hub spacers listed for the E39 5 series and wondered if they'd fit the X5 hub as it may be longer... you might want to measure and check.. PPS load ratings may be significantly different too as theres probably a few hundred kilos wieght diff between the old e39 and X5.

those are the type of problems i am worried about since no one really seems to know for sure. but yeah i'm getting the fender flares regardless

what do you mean the hub might be longer?

yeah boring out the hub size from 72.5mm to 74.1... but i would rather not do that to the wheel since it wasn't made like that you know
