New to the group but not to BMW. Currently driving a 2004 X5 3.0 but ordered a 2013 X5 35i Sport with the 20" 214 style wheels that should be arriving sometime in July. Since I am in NY I will need to get a winter tire setup. Have been going through the several threads on the subject and really like the 298M style wheels, particularly since they have the smaller offset to fill out the flared fenders. But there is conflicting info on using them on a non-M X5 with regard to the hub size. Someone even asked about using 298M front wheels on all four corners but never got an answer.

LeMansX5 seems to be in the know since you actually have them installed rather than speculating. You posted that the rears didn't need adapters but the fronts did. Everyone else said the opposite. So which is it and what adapters from H&R are required? A link to the specific part would be helpful, since there is also conflicting info on this. Would prefer to get the info from someone that has actually done it.

Also have there been any issues removing the adapters in the Spring to mount the summer wheels due to winter grime?

Thanks,
PeteJ
