I have a WTF wheel question..

The front hub size is 74 or 74.1 and the rear is 72.6 or something like that.

How does anyone buy wheels for this car? Serious question. I have Pay Pal locked and loaded for a set of some good wheels but I keep reminding myself of this problem. I literally spend hours online finding some AMAZING wheels that would look great on this truck but I'm quickly discouraged when I remember that the hub sizing is different front to back.

To you guys that have aftermarket wheels, is there a quick solution? Are there hub rings that I don't know about? Please help, I'm seriously depressed over here.

In other news, Santa came early this year.

Is yours X5 or X5M?

The X5M is the only e70 that has different hubs;
74.1 front and 72.56 rear
All other X5ss, including Msports have matching hubs front and rear, which will be 74.1.

Only custom ordered wheels will have offsets specific offsets and hub bores to an M.

Many people buy spacers that are hubcentric and to achieve the desired offsets.

Yes, buy the wheels you want/like (with CB 74.1mm) and spent $10 on a set of aluminum (not plastic!) center rings that reduce the center bore from 74.1mm to 72.56mm for the rears.

Like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/2314707...chn=ps&lpid=82

You're welcome ...

... and let us know what wheels you got. Not all aftermarket wheels are good enough to be put on an X5(M). Pick your selection carefully and ask about the load bearing capacity of the wheel.
