Thanks for all reply's ...


Well Ive just got home from working away and have a little time to concentrate on the arrival of my X6 M 50d ;-)

The 22's are off my X5 today, and away for a refurb, black satin powdercoat as a base and a gunmetal spray finish for the spokes with a powder clear coating on top to finish. I hope there going to look the business on the X6, after a whole month of looking at rims etc ...

Just wondered how your X6 westside is running on those 295's at the front? is it any heavier on the steering, handling etc ?

Ive got 315/30/22 Toyo St Proxes for the rears and 265/35/22 for the fronts ..... however I do have a pair of 295/30/22 St Proxes which I could use on the front ? Just a little unsure if they will be ok ?

I also have some H&R Trak+ hubcentric wheel spacers for the front which are 30mm and the same spacers for the back which are 20mm. Im thinking that if fitted these should give an even width look to the car ? Im not sure about this but if im correct in thinking the X6 has a slightly narower track at the front to start with anyway ....

Thanks - Rich

:X6 has 60mm greater track at the rear than the X5.  How it 'looks' depends on which wheels are used.  Some make it more apparent, but the offsets can of course 'hide it' or accentuate it as you need.

In Imperial I know but...

Exterior Measurements
WIDTH: 6 ft. 6.1 in. (78.1 in.) HEIGHT:  5 ft. 6.5 in. (66.5 in.)
LENGTH:  16 ft. 0 in. (192 in.) FRONT TRACK:  5 ft. 4.7 in. (64.7 in.)
REAR TRACK:  5 ft. 7.2 in. (67.2 in.) WHEEL BASE:  9 ft. 7.5 in. (115.5 in.)

Multiply by 25.4 to convert to Metric (in case anyone wondered as not everyone knows that).
