Wont fit straight on as the E53 used smaller hub bore sizes.

Yup the E70 X5 has same centerbores front and rear which match the centrebore of the X6 front hubs but the X6 rears are smaller and require hub rings to fit, usually loads on ebay, I'd recommend the alloy ones that have a small champher flange as this stops the ring falling into the wheel hub ...

Those Costco alloy jacks are 2 ton rated if memory serves , but the lowline steel one they do is 3 tons so a safer bet lifting an x6 or x5 . Got one of each and boy is the steel one heavy but does the job and didn't break the plastic jacking pads.

Have a play with these two sites ..

Note just for offset /wheel/tyre width

Hopefully some pics of the rims and tyres fresh from the fitters (tyres still lathered in tyre soap so need a good scrub)

did u use spigot rings on these or are they sized for E53 hubs . Just got a set of 21"s for my X6 but if these were viable I maybe tempted to rethink , note X6 has the the larger E70 size front hub so E53 rims only fit the X6 rear, and won't fit the front if they have the exact E53 hub size machined ...

check out OPIEOILs for good oil prices..

[quote=""Jalf""]Great, do they fit straight in to the centre console?

Where about are you in the NE UK?[/quote]
Gateshead area.
Will fit them as soon as I sort some tyres..

Picked up some new cup holders for the X6 , just trying them out in the house 1st.,

put up the ebay link and we'll try to tell you.
X6 rims in 20" sizes are usually 10" front and 11" rear with the same tyre sizes as the E70 mentioned earlier. Note X6 uses mixed hub sizes front same as E70, rear same as E53 (and most other 5 stud BMWs)

have you tried the clio williams forums and pistonheads? also a lot a willies seem to hang out on the clio renaultsport forums (no pun intended) though I wouldnt expect much change from 3k (maybe more) if your after a minter (without rear arch rot).
PS these might help

Just got a set of 21" BMW OEM rims for my x6 (posted here as there may be wider exposure to Q) and was looking to source tyres but the oem front of 285/35x21 seems scarce and a bit steep .
Has enyone run a 295/35x21 with the stock 325/30x21 rear instead? online tyre calc sites seem to put the ...

Sorry I was after the rim widths not just the tyre sizes, I'll have a look on ebay to see if they give me a clue.

Luvely wheels. What width are they? and where'd you get them from... Thinking about something similar for my X6.

Looks good now (using IE9).. Cheers !
