Hi ...

Des anyone know if I could run my X6m 50d on 22" rims with the following tyre set up?

Fronts 295/30/22 & Rears 315/30/22 ?

Thanks for your help, I'm kind of confused which are the best tyres and what sizes to go with ?

If there are 'approved' 22" BMW tyres they may have had the rolling diameter shaved slightly to keep it within the +2.5% ideal limit.  I think this is what the '*' on the BMW preferred tyres indicates.

If you can stay within it then it will avoid any risk of winding up the transmission.  Given the X6 has a very clever (read expensive) electric rear diff system, any 'winding up' is best avoided.

There are official 23" Hartge wheels about now - at £10k a set - plus tyres.

Thanks x15 ... That chart is very helpful, we're did you find it ?

Mmmmmm..... Think those Hartge wheels are a little pricey, although I must say are pretty awesome !

Cheers
