Can you fit a 10.5" wheel on the front of the x5m?

Dawgz · 03-12-2020, 07:37 AM

I got new wheels for the x5m, it has a 74.1 center bore and are 10.5 inch for all four.

I got a center bore conversion for the rear to go from the 74.1 wheel bore to the 72.56 hub bore, also incorporates as a 20mm spacer since the stock rear wheels are 11" and these are 10.5.

My issue is with the front, mainly the size. The stock fronts are 10" and my new wheels are 10.5".

Will it rub anywhere? Do I need to use a spacer to put the front wheels out a bit?

Anyone?

If you got them, why don't you jack the car up and throw them on? Maybe even just buy one tire, and have that one mounted, so that you can throw it on the car and turn the wheel side to side to check clearance.

I suspenct it'll be fine, though it might take out a fin or two in front of the wheel from the little oil cooler passthrough. That's what happens wiht oversized tires, and the swing arc will probably be nearly the same as an oversized tire.
The major worry is if it's spaced out enough to not hit the inner strut/ balljoint. If it does, you just need a bigger spacer.

Personally, I'd bolt the wheel (with no tire) up and see how it looks. With some common sense you'll be able to look and see for yourself.

Do you know the offset of the new wheels?

If so, you can use a wheel fitment calculator like this:

To see how your clearance looks...

Likely will be to do that

I believe the offset is 30.

With stock being 35 I entered the specs on that website and it shows only a 1mm difference.

(Stock front width of 10", new wheel width of 10.5")

You should be OK then...

Doctor///M · 03-16-2020, 11:58 AM

You should be fine. The 22" BBS SV runs 11" in the front and 12" in the rear with similar offsets to stock. No rubbing issues.
