I bought X6 wheel set for my X5 and the rear hubs are smaller (72.5mm vs 74.0mm).
Boring the rear wheels to 74.1mm vs. Buying the H&R Trak+ adapters 20mm: Pro: Don't have to explain to the wheel/tire shop how to install or remove the hub adapters every six months! Pro: Don't have buy the hub adapters Pro: A member posted that vibration may be a problem when using hub adapters Pro: Wheels, already staggered, will stick out even more in rear with adapters Con: Have to find a wheel shop that I can trust to do a good job of the hub boring Con: Possible wheel integrity I know that there are some that will recommend against hub boring but it is so little to remove that I can't believe that a "professional" can't do it right. I have read posts of guys that even did it using a dremel tool (although that wasn't on an X6 wheel). I AM looking for a pro job. As far as hub boring goes, I was given a recommendation of JD Machine in Manchester, CT. They have since gone out of business. Anyone have any other recommendations in the NY Tri-State area for wheel hub boring? Actually, anyone have any recommendations in New England (as I tend to get to MA, RI, NH, etc.) Thanks |
