I'm interested in getting the X6 stye 232 wheels from a guy in my area. This would be for my 2008 X5. If spacers are needed for the rear, does anyone recommend a 15mm thichness one over the 20mm thickness ones. I'm still debating on whether I want to machine bore the rear to 74mm or use the spacers from the link above. Any suggestions?

Fronts on both X5 and X6 are 74mm, rears on X5 are 74mm, rears on X6 are 72.5mm, a good wheel refurbishing place or machine shop can easily bore the X6 rears up to 74mm.
The other option is to run some spacers that will adapt down to 72.5 - they run about $120 for a pair for the rears (and helps the looks a bit also) Home Page > Search > es1899557 es1905746 - ECS Tuning Inc |
