That included several trips to northern Maine. Here's a pic of my setup...they come off this weekend though for the Summer tires on the 214s! I think I'm going to miss them...

That is funny that you would post. I was just reading your thread about these and said...hey I like the look of those rims.

How was it getting them to fit? I thought the X6M replicas didn't fit the regular X5s? Do you know how wide each rim is and the offsets? Any pictures from the back to see if the rim/tire combo sits further in from the fender than the stock 214s?

Not sure if I want to go 315 wide, might want to stick with 275 to have a slightly narrower/cheaper tire but then again 275 on an 11 inch or 10.5 rim might look too stretched.

They fit perfectly. Same spec as the OEM 214s, except that the offset is 40 and 35 vs 40 and 37 (I think) on the OEMs. The OEM x6M wheels would have a different bore, but those are 21 in rims not 20s... From the side and rear I can't tell a difference from the 214s. You def. need the fender flares that come with the SA package though. I'll try to take some side/rear photos tonight before I taker them off for the season! see attached for the spec
