So, does it fit? I love style 275 on the X6 and hoping that it would fit, so that I can have it on my X5. Offset on both front and rear of Style 275 are the same with some of X5 wheels. Just hope that it would have the same bore size.

I am not convinced just yet. The "Discount Tire" store here looked them up and said they should fit. When I have some time, I'll have them try them on. I will have them "bored out" if the openings are too small. He said they have a machine shop that charges $50 per wheel if it comes to that.
I'll let you know...

Just found this info on a tire/wheel website. I cut and pasted this:
The X6 uses M14x1.5 bolts on a 5x120 PCD but bizarrely has different size centre bores front/rear! The front is 74.0mm and rear 72.5mm I guess I will have the rears bored out to 74.0mm. There is a "lip" around the edge that seems thicker on the rears than on the fronts. It should be easy to have done.

Just measured the wheel centers. Info I found is correct. The center openings on the REARS: 72.5mm FRONTS: 74.0mm
X5 hub rings ON THE VEHICLE will accept the 74.0mm openings both front and rear. I will have to bore out the REARS from 72.5 to 74.0. Cost will be 50 bucks for each rear wheel and then I'll be able to mount them.

That's what I thought (see below). Thanks for confirming - sorry you are the guinea pig.

Should be an easy "fix" however. Not much metal to remove to make them fit. I will be sure to post once I have them mounted. Thanks to all for the info. Might be nice to have possibly the only X5 with these wheels!!

pongpap,
If you go with the 275's, I'd love to see a few pics. Those wheels are INCREDIBLE!! I think they would make the X5 look very aggressive.
