Wheel Spacers...

W84IT · 06-05-2014, 12:21 PM

I called Turner Motorsports to order wheel spacers for my X5 and was informed that they will need me to check the size of the hub bore because some of X5's and X6's have 74.1mm and some have 72.56mm hub bore. Can anyone with a 2011 xDrive 5.0i with wheels spacers confirm what set up you have?

Is there any way for me to know without pulling my wheels off to measure?

I want the 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers with 20" style 333M wheels...

"Normal" e70 and e71 have 74.1mm hub on all axles.

X5m and X6m have 72.56mm in the rear while 74.1mm in the front.

I believe all x6 models have 72.56 rear hubs.

When you say "Normal" is the 5.0i M Sport considered normal?

Sorry if I was mistaken.

Learned something today.

I got the spacers installed yesterday...looks much better!

Thanks! I just had it washed after installing the spacers and a set of performance ceramic brake pads...low dust!

Performance and ceramic should not be used in the same sentence. Its a contradiction of terms.

Pads either stop really well and will dust and/or squeal. Or they are low dust/low-no squeal, and have no performance characteristics. Fact of life.

Tell that to Hawk Performance...

So you succumbed to their marketing basically? It is the holy grail to have performance and low dust. Ceramic pads of any type are not a performance pad, no matter the manufacturer. I would take them over stock OE BMW pads any day though as those pads dust like some of my race pads do.

W84IT · 06-15-2014, 02:12 PM

No, I didn't succumb to anything...I know exactly what I wanted and I'm totally aware of the difference between ceramic brake pads and semi-metallic...I wanted a low dust brake pad and "HAWK PERFORMANCE CERAMIC BRAKE PADS" just happened to be the name of the pads that I purchased.

SchaumerMol · 06-16-2014, 05:58 AM

So what spacers did you get? What hub size?

I have the x5 w/ M Sports Package as well. What hub size does that have?
The one of the normal x5 or the one of the x5m/x6m?

Thanks in advance

I got the H&R Spacers...15mm front and 20mm rear...both front and rear are 74.1 hub bore...the lug bolts are 43mm front and 50mm rear

Looks better!

Do you have the 15mm already installed when you took the picture?

Yes...the 15mm seems perfect for the front but the rear looks slightly tucked from certain angles...I'm thinking I should have got the 25mm rear instead of the 20mm...I can live with the 20mm rear though because the overall stance has improved.

Great! My 15mm are out for delivery today.

The 25mm are perfect in the rear.
Have them now installed for a month.

I'm with you, got the 25mm installed and can't be happier!

W84IT · 06-18-2014, 04:56 AM

I might eventually get the 25mm rear...I have noticed that the people with the Dunlop RFT's on seems more flush with 20mm rear...I have the Nitto Motivo tires and they don't have that block look like the RFT's

Diesel X5 · 06-27-2014, 09:01 PM

I ordered the 25mm H&R about two weeks ago and still waiting for them to come in. I will be just putting them on the rears and leaving the front stock.
