BMW X6 259 style rims on an E53 X5?

[MADT]

Anyone know if this will work?

Looking at putting 259 style rims on my E53 X5, just wondering if the offset will work or not.

Anyone seen or got it done?

Rear will fit but you need hub centric rings for the front wheels.
E53 X5 bore size is 72.5 - all wheels. X6 bore size is 74 in front. Rear is same as E53.

Thanks.

Will the offset be correct and the wheels and tyres not hang out of teh guards or rub on the inside of the body?

I don't think you should have any problem. I believe you don't have 4.8is, right?

Hi, Thanks for that. I have a 3.0d. I think I will need to purchase guard extensions like on the 4.8is as from what i calculate is that the X6 wheels on the front will extend a out a further 21mm over my 19" 132 style standard rims?

Are my calculations correct?
