Question re: OEM 21" Rims HELP!!!
 

Hello All
does anyone know if these OEM 21" RIMS fit the X5? I think they are 21X9 & 21X10...does anyone know for sure? if I need some sort of spacer how much does this cost?

I can't find the thread, but I'm almost positive someone mounted these on an X, I'll post the thread if/when I find it.

Thanks, I am getting a pretty good deal and need to get back to someone ASAP

The thread had the 19's from the 745. Do you know the offsets? 21" wheels shouldn't be the problem since people are putting 22's on the X.

off-topic but my mom has these rims on her car. They look big and are very/clean wheels. I should swap them to my X :)

Do you reckon she'd notice??? I swapped the wheels on my Alfa 147 and my wife took months before she noticed!!!

IF those oem 21" rims are off a 6 or 7 series they will fit your X5 but because they have a smaller offset ,the wheels will stick out of the bodywork slightly in the same as the 19"s that Ekaz has found!Therefore you will not be needing spacers!

where can I get details about these rims? offset and all that stuff.

Hi Carlos,
You must find out this information from whoever is selling you the wheels:rolleyes:

Get them to look up on the inside of the wheels.

If anyone installs these wheels please post pics and info on the install. I really like them alot

Yes, please do - they sure look good on that 7...

very nice wheels. get them and post pics

I sent him an e-mail and he has not replied, if I knew the info I would commit to buying them

My guess is that these 21" wheels have the same offset as the 7-series.
Carlos,I agree with you!DO NOT commit yourself before knowing more about the wheels.Once you know their width and offset,I can tell you exactly how they will stand on X5!

I'm looking into getting these rims for my X3, 19". I read in the BMW wheel catalog that the 21's are for/from the 7-series. I'll check my wheel catalog to see if they list the offsets.

Hi Carlos,
Have you heard from the guy who's got the 21"rims?
Meanwhile,I have been doing some research and have found that the 7-series 760Li uses these according to realoem.com data.
These are style 128 and as you said in your first post,these are 21x9 and 21x10.

The rear wheel has an offset of 25 which is ok and will fit your X5 nicely ,some 30mm further out than oem 19"s but still not flush with the body!

Now,the front has an offset of 20 and is more complicated!This wheel will stick out 33mm more than than 19" and even slightly more (2.6mm) than a oem 20".Still,I am looking at my front 20"s and they are into the body,so an extra 2.6mm will be fine.

I have done these calculations assuming that you will be fitting tyres which match closely the 19" oem rolling diametre.
The recommended tyres are 265/40 front and 305/35 rear.(just 0.8% over).

These 19" wheels on your X3 look fantastic!!!!!

Good gracious, I can only imagine what those things cost!! They are definitely a great looking wheel.

About $2400 for the 21"s and $1500 for the 19"s. That's not including tires. (bmwwheels.com)

thanks for the research powers1, for the price that I am getting the set I can buy them and resell them on ebay if anything...I will keep everyone posted.

Any info at all on this fitment?? Very VERY interested. BUMP!

...and yes i did use that great wheel/tire calculator in this thread, just wondering if anyones actually bolted this set up to an X and seen the fitment?? Thnx!

Yes i want to know if these wheels fit and if i need to do anything like wheel spacers to make them fit better. I really want these wheels. Does anyone have a picture with them on an X5. Also what size tires would you use.

Sorry dont have pics but I have all the info on my post #16!

Are you getting these from a private party?

I found using that link in the post a few back, that the rears will be near stock, maybe in a bit, and using 245/35's in front will be the same a stock. Dont know if i'd want such a small tire up there, was thinking 255/35's and 295/30's for the back. 255's would protrude out the front about .5 of an inch. Would love to see pix of these on an X!

b

Has anyone put these wheels on an X5 yet. Or does anyone have these wheels at all. I really want to see these on an X5 because i want them really bad.

anyone?

Will love to see pics of these style 128 wheels on X5. Imola can you please swap from the 750 to see how it looks? Difference in offset of style 168; ET45(front) and ET 30(rear) though.
SIZE -------OFFSET ----TIRES
9 x 21 Front ET 22 - 245/35 ZR21
10 x 21 Rear ET 25 - 85/30 ZR21

Yes imola can you please swap them and take pics. Everyone would really apreciate it

These are what 21's look like on a X5

Looks good but those alpinas probably have a different offset then the 21s from the factory.

Those Alpinas are the best looking wheel out there, (for the size)
anyone know how much they run for?????

sorry guys for the delay, im really tryin to do this, but since this is my moms daily driver its kind of hard to find a good day. But tonight i will do it for sure and see how it looks and stuff be ready for pics.. prolly around midnight:)

In the UK they are £3600

het imola did you have a chance to swap the wheels yet. just wondering i cant wait to see them on the X5

any word yet on swapping the 21s on the X from the 7

ahh sorry not yet! im gettin new DPE wheels myself this weekend so i dunno if the swapping will happen but i will try guys i will :)

imola please do if you can for a fellow x5 owner...i can get my hand on a set of 21 from an owner who downgrade to 19 for a smoother ride. but im not sure how they will look. :)
