Hi,

Need to replace my tires on a 2012 X5 35d.
Found a local seller with a X6 set for sale.

Front 225/45R18 and rear 255/50R18.
Offset is ET47 for front and ET44 for rear.

Will that fit?

Perhaps more important question:
Load and speed index is 95Y and 109H is recommended.
Would it work? Is the car too heavy?

Thanks

So you could get the 72.6mm hole on that X6 rim 'bored out' to 74.1mm.

FWIW.

Still will cost 50-100. And agree the tires are quite small compared to OE fitment.

Those staggered tires are not paired correctly the diffrence in height is 7.7% which will screw up your transmission.
When running staggered tires the max they should be off size wise is 0.7% ideally you want 0.0% difference in height.
My 20" are 275x40x20 front, rear are 315x35x20 diffrence in height is 0%.

If you need new tires, why are you buying rims and tires from an X6? Especially if there only 18"s? If your on a budget, I buy my tires off eBay. I have buy used RFTs from reputable sellers (non-patched). Usually can find tires with 10/32 or 11/32 for cheap and free shipping.

If I was going to buy a new set of tires/wheels, I would search CL or Offerup and score some OEM 20"s from an X5 and be done. There are many people out there that ditch the factory 20"s and want 22"s, done this many times with my rides over the years.
