2011 Stock X5M wheels for 2004 X5 - Question

[ZIV3R]

I just picked up a set of 2011 x5m stock wheels and tires and need to fit them onto my 2004 x5 (work truck).

Anyone know what hardware (adapter, etc) I need to make this happen?

you need these in the front, rear wheels have the same size hub:

These ECS Hub Adapters will bring the wheel out 15mm. There is not need for that, especially if your are putting e70 X5 wheels with a more aggressive off-set on an e53 X5. You will also need longer bolts.

Instead, all you need to do is to reduce the enter bore of the X5M wheels for the front from 74.1mm to 72.56mm,

These aluminum center rings are preferred over the plastic and will work fine: http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Hub-Centri...25.m3641.l6368

He is right, my mistake. You need adapter to go from a small wheel hub to a bigger but when your going from a bigger wheel hub to smaller hub on the car you can use rings. Call ecs this morning and cancel them. They probably even sell the rings if you don't want to buy off ebay.
