Does the OEM 19" wheels fit on a X6M
Hello
Hi I still have the OEM wheels and tires from my former X6 30d The idea is to use them when I go to places with bad roads instead of using the factory 20's I just want to know what will happen..... Does the calipers will touch the wheels ? Anyone has done this ? Thanks in advance!! |

Thanks a lot, I still have my old set of 19's from my past X6 30d, those are great tires to go to places where roads are rough instead of using my 20's.....

There were some threads about this past year for winter tire purpose, obviously. The conclusion was OEM 19' from 35 or 50 would not fit without any mod. That's how I remember it now but I could be wrong. BMW has OEM X6/X5M winter package in 19' style 298M. I heard that this is only 19' which can fit to M. This whole package costs around $3k US. If you manage to put 19' OEM from your old 35 without any problem (or even simple trick), let me know. otherwise, I would go for 298M package.

For 3K you can get nice 20'' TSW nurburgring wheels with any winter tires and TPMs shipped

I read it here early this year. When I picked up my X6M last May I asked my dealer in PA for 298M. He told me that it would be little over 3k based on last year's order information. He clearly said that wheels and tires, but I am not sure whether he included TPM or balancing. I would be really pissed if BMW charging so much more this year.

I called half a dozen places to ask if any 19s will fit the X6M and everyone told me that the brakes are too big and I would need 20s.
I ended up getting the 298M package and there is very little room between the brakes and the inside of the rim. You might be able to find some after market rims now since the M cars have been around for a bit now but from what I heard the stock 19s from the 3.5L wont fit. |
