Wheels extending beyond the wheel arches are of course illegal, wouldn't you expect that :roll:

as i expland the other day my wife has an X1 & me an E53 , the offset are nearly identical to the E53 wheels with the 20mm spacers , the only difference is the wheel arch extention kits that are available for the E53 & the E70 fitted to the m sport models & occassionally come up for sale . I have looked into all angles but was wanting advise on the camber of the wheels as this will be affected due to the spacers on the hubs .

Fella,

Not all of us remember what u posted a few days ago, hence a signature with what u own, helps.

X6 alloys will not fit your E53 even with your spacers.

E70/71 wheels will fit an E53 no probs. I'm running X6 20's no probs. For E70 rimmage you will need spigot rings all round but with E71 you only need spigot rings on the front.

Ahh, then you'd be right to an extent.....lol.

The guy I bought my oe X6 20's off was running a set of E53 21" Alpina Dynamics. He had the entree bored just a touch to fit.

When modding, where there's a will there's a way.... :D
