Inspect your wheels carefully, I don't know the reason why your bolts are sticking out if the wheels are made for the X. Ask the wheel manufacturer; is it DPE by any chance?
yes it is DPE. The reason they "might" be sticking out is cuz the x5 owner that had them on his X he had a 3.0 I have a 4.8...same exact reason why i got 30mm spacers for the REAR is because i wanted the tire/wheel to line up wit the extended rear fender flares of the 4.8 that the 3.0 does not have.

But then again technically the 4.8 wheels are 20x10.5 in the rear..and my DPE's are 22x10 in the rear.That might be another reason why the lugs in the rear are poking out
