- Place your 2022 BMW iX wheel adapter on the hub and ensure that the adapter is firmly seated and flush against the hub;
- Tighten the adapter with the provided wheel bolts;
- Remount your wheel, use the stock wheel bolts to secure it on the adapter;

Make sure every wheel bolt is snug properly. It is ultimately important to safely operate your vehicle. Set your torque wrench to the manufacturer’s specifications and tighten the wheel bolts until the torque wrench clicks. Tighten the wheel bolts in a crisscross sequence to make them evenly forced. When you’ve tightened all the bolts, go back through the pattern again with the torque wrench to ensure that every single bolt is evenly tight. The exact torque can be found in your owner’s manual. Never over-torque those wheel bolts.
