The winter set up dealer recommended was the same style 611s but in a different color and they were on backorder. These were available and I got them in a week. So I'll have dedicated rears and will just change tires for the fronts. Two less wheels to have sitting around. I still have wheels from my 2013 X6 M and the 2016 X6 50i.... I have wheels everywhere. So glad they came in.

I did something similar for my M5 when the winter package was not available (sound familiar?). It worked fine although the rear wheels were not flush with the fenders. I was fine with it because it kept the car cleaner but the rear wheels always looked a little "tucked."
I asked about ordering 4 fronts but the cost was way more than the unavailable 611 winter package or the 491 package. Only ordering two probably made it workable.
Please post pictures when you have them mounted. |
That was my hesitation, the OE 611 fronts have a higher offset than the 611 rears for winter. Not a big deal, but from an aesthetic perspective, sub-optimal.
