ET 45/48 -> ET 24 would require 20-25 mm spacers...... <- wrong.

the other way around!

Hi Fmb,

Did you use spacers to fit the wheels or were they just a straight forward bolt-on???We cant really see from the photos,but are the wheels sticking out from the bodywork?Thanks.

Wow! I really like those wheels... Looks good!

Let us know what the exact wheel & tire sizes and offsets are for those that might want to try these or other 7 series wheels on their truck!

[drex]

the above applies depending on the width of the rims, i guess.

i found a good article/website:: http://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html

smaller offset wheels should fit just fine!

no i didnt use spacers to fit the wheels it just a straight forward bolt and yes the wheels are sticking out from the bodywork

[drex]

they look good.




those are the stock 20s on my car and they look about the same as far as location relative to yours, fmb.

corrections above.

powers1 --good call. no spacers needed.

rims should fit and clear fine.

I thought they would stick out!!!!According to Drex´s wheel database,your 7-series rims have am offset of ET24 while the ideal offset for your X5 is ET48!This is the reason why they stick out!Anyway,what matters is that they look good and you are happy with them.....Congrats.
