Wheel offsets X6-X5

[Glenn Mc]

My Brother wants to borrow my winter wheels/tyres form my X6. (19's type 232)

He has new shape X5, will they fit, are they the same offsets ?


Thanks

This is not gospel but I believe to be correct. I was told by a BMW parts guy that the hubs on an X6 are different sizes... with one (front or rear) being smaller than the X5 so that either the front or rear wheel of the X6 will be to small to fit over the e70 hub. He stated they tried to mount a 20" OEM X6 wheel on an e70 & no worky. I spoke to another BMW guy at one point way back that said they would fit however I trust the "no worky" guy more.
I actually have both e70 & e71 wheels yet have not invested the time or muscle to lug them around to check for myself.

^^I believe the rear is different. e.g. BMW has different part#s for style 128 wheels for X5 and X6.

X5 E70 center bore is 74mm on all wheels and X6 front wheel center bore is 74mm and rear wheel is 72.5mm(which is E53 X5 bore size).


X5 style 128
10 x 21 Front - ET 40 - 36 11 6 779 375
11,5 x 21 Rear - ET 42 - 36 11 6 779 376

X6 style 128
10 x 21 Front - ET 40 - 36 11 6 771 425
11,5 x 21 Rear - ET 38 - 36 11 6 782 833

Thanks for that,

Looks like the fronts are the same, but the rears are different

Do you know if the X5/X6 214s have different hub sizes or different PNs? Or does BMW use hubcentric rings for the rear 214s ... Thanks

The X6 214's won't fit on the e70 X5's - the hub size is smaller on the front. They are different PN's and BMW doesn't use hubcentric rings

As is they will not fit. Someone here had to bore the rear X6 wheels to have them fit on E70 X5. Search the E70 forum for more info.

Thanks, every searched I pulled up did not include the 214s, but I did figure they were different. Thanks for the confirmation ...
