Please confirm when you put the wheels on as there are different reports.

I'll confirm Sunday. I'll put a rear one on. I've done a lot of searching on X6 rims on ebay and all confirm fitment for X5. Also, X5 wheels list as fitting X6's

Here is an example of what I've been seeing on ebay. I know these are 19's but all X6 wheels state that they fit the X5s. If not, I'll have a set of 20" X6 wheels for sale on ebay. I hope they fit as they are very nice looking wheels. I like the 21" 5 spoke rims but didn't want to hassle with tire replacement. These 20s will be unique on an X5 (if they fit!!!). Sunday we will all know. I'll post a pic.

LeMans X5,
I got impatient and tried the rear on........ You are correct. Rears DO NOT fit! The hub on the X5 is ever so slightly larger than the opening on the rim. HMMMMMMMM....... What do you (or does anyone) think about having the openings on the rears machined larger (bored out) to fit the hub? Seems like its less than or close to a mm difference. I'm tired and did not check the fronts. From your research, it appears they should fit. I am posting this pic to show that the bolt pattern is exactly the same ( I could bolt them on but they didn't fit flush to the hub plate due to the difference in diameters). They do look great on! Thank you for your info.

Here's what I've found out. The fronts fit perfectly (pic). Tried them on this AM. Went to Discount tire and they looked up the X6 5.0 20 wheels (which are the ones above that I purchased). He told me that they are the exact same measurement on all 4 and should fit fronts and rears w no problem. When I was fitting the rears, all I can say is that they were VERY heavy and maybe I didn't apply enought force to seat them properly. I will wait for spring and have Discount tire mount all four and then post. So If you are looking to purchase this style, they should work out fine. A great look IMO

Thanks, SapphireBlackX5.

I like the design, but those tires look small on the E70 to me. I guess we'll get a better picture when it's not jacked up.

style 214 looks better
