Tire Chain Recommendation for a 2014 BMW X5 with 325/30R21 Tires

Published 01/08/2016

Question:

Hi, Im looking to purchase Thule K-Summit XXL for my 2014 BMW X5 with 325/30R21 installed in the rear. According to my research, Size K66 should fit that tire, however I have a feeling that my lug nuts might be in too deep for the attachment to reach. Should that be a concern? Thanks!

For the tire size 325/30R21 you have installed on your 2014 BMW X5 the K66 K-Summit Chains part # TH02230K66 have been confirmed as a fit.

This will fit the deep lug nuts you have on your vehicle, it comes with spacers and washers for you to use so that it can fit down into a deep lug nut hole. We haven't had any issues with people not being able to use these chains due to lug nuts being too deep in the rim so this would work well for you.

I attached a video that shows these chains being used on a similar 2008 X5 as yours as well.

Be sure to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine if there are any restrictions on snow chain use as well.
