X6 wheels on x6m
I just bought a 2011 x6m and I can buy used x6 wheels with winter tires for a good price. Will they fit with no mods needed? I'm confused about the whole axle size thing. Thanks!

Sorry bud, I have no idea. If i was a betting man, I'd say you should be ok unless the calipers on the M are sitting out more compared to a regular X6

I called a highly recommended BMW dealer, and they said the x6 wheels would not fit.
But I read online, that the rear hub is the problem. X6 is 74mm, x6m is 72.5mm. But, the hub should fit because it's 1.5mm smaller, so there's a small gap. It's really got me perplexed, I can save about $2000 buying used winter tires+wheels which means I can get a tune! |

I run 20inch E70 x5 Y Spoke rims for my winter setup. They are 74.1... so I use 72.56 to 74.1mm hub centric rings on the rear. I also use 10mm Spacers on the rear to make the set up look normal. iIts the E53 X5 that’s 72.56mm.

Spacers....
I normally grab hub centric rings off Ebay or AliExpress.
autoshack in Canada has spacers if needed. https://ca.autoshack.com/Auto/Wheels...S54725472C10MM And free shipping... Last edited by Bilbofraggins; 11-01-2018 at 10:36 PM.. |
