Thinking about upgrading your BMW X6’s 20” rims to bold 22s? Good news—yes, you can. BMW designed the X6 with multiple factory size options, and moving from 20” to 22” is a common and achievable upgrade that many owners make for a more commanding road presence.
Let’s explore how to do it right.
📏 Factory Rim Sizes for BMW X6
BMW X6 models come with several factory wheel options, depending on trim and package:
-
20" – Often standard on base and comfort-focused trims
-
21" – Mid-range upgrade, usually with M Sport trims
-
22" – Factory-equipped on higher trims or as optional upgrade
If you're moving from 20” to 22”, the key is to pair your new wheels with the correct 22” tire size. This keeps your overall diameter consistent and avoids issues with speedometer accuracy, handling, or suspension geometry.
🔄 Staggered Tire Setups Work Too
BMW X6s—especially M Sport and performance variants—often come staggered from the factory, with wider rear tires. Staggered setups work beautifully with 22” rims:
-
Front example: 285/35R22
-
Rear example: 315/30R22
You’ll get a more aggressive stance, improved rear grip, and that signature BMW athletic look.
🔩 Check the Bolt Pattern Before You Buy
Make sure your new wheels fit your exact model year:
-
2018 & Down: 5x120 bolt pattern
-
2019 & Up (G06 generation): 5x112 bolt pattern
Also check:
-
Center bore: 66.6 mm
-
Offset (ET): Ranges from ET30–ET40 depending on wheel width
Getting these details right ensures a safe, vibration-free fit.
