Wheel style 375 for 2015 X6 (F16)

Bought OEM BMW wheel style 375 for 2015 X6 xdrive M sport 35i to replace stock wheels and tires. Rear wheel will not fit due to different bore size... Has anyone had similar issues?

If so any real world fixes like adapter/spacers? Been told to bore a larger hole to clear larger rear hub but do not want to alter wheel if I do not need to. Worse case fix... if no good solution... does anyone know if it would fit my husbands 2015 X5?
Thanks

The bore diameter on the rear of the E70/E71 X5M/X6M was smaller than the "regular" E70/E71 and the F15. It's possible that you have wheels designed for these models. You can use a spacer as an adapter (H&R makes one) but having the 375 wheels myself, this spacer would push the wheel out past the fender flare and not look very nice. Did you purchase these new or used?

You can purchase centering rings that reduce the diamter from 74.1mm to the 72.5 mm that the X6 uses. You can also buy HR spacers that do the same thing. (Something like this http://www.amazon.com/pieces-Hubcent.../dp/B00CH8M376)

I do have a set of these wheels for sale if anyone else is looking (check the classifieds)

Thank you... Yes I bought these new from eBay (never used). I saw them on the 2014 X6M and X5M (BMW pics) as well as regular pre 2015 (F16)X6 in pics online. The seller recommended this.... http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/TRAK...ter/ES1899557/ But when I called them to order they would not recommend and said may not work. My BMW dealership is clueless and was no help and said to look online?!? No one seems to know what to do since the F16 is so new. Front wheel fit and rear wheel had a 1/4 inch gap.

Not sure if this will fix the situation... Front wheel seemed to fit rear wheel had 1/4 inch gap... Wheel seller recommended this... http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/TRAK...ter/ES1899557/
ECS would not confirm this to fix the situation.

I'm confused what you are trying to do.

Did you buy the style 375 for the X6 and are trying to fit them to an X5? If so, then you either need to bore the wheels from 72.6mm to 74.1mm or run that ECS spacer

If you are trying to run style 375 for the X5 and are trying to fit them onto an X6, you will need the centering rings as the wheels are 74.1mm bore, and the hub on the X6 is 72.6 mm.

Sorry for the confusion... The front 375 wheel fit fine and rear was too small of a bore 72 for the X6 hub 74. I am being told that it's the case for the X6 that the rear hub is larger in the rear. BMW dealer thinks different situation for X5 but since both F15/F16 is so new they aren't sure!?! Milling the wheel larger is one option or 15mm spacer with 42mm bolts... Just looking for verification from blog members... Dealers recommendation... . If these aren't good solutions then need to verify it would fit 2015 X5 F15 which I can put on instead of my X6 F16.

I would return them and get the right wheels. I think the 15mm spacer is going to push the wheel out past the fender flare. You are going to have the same problem in the X5 where both front and rear hubs are 74.0mm. I suspect the F16 has both hubs at 74.0 and that is why you are having this problem and that the wheels you bought were setup for E71 X6 or E70 X5M.
